 SRL-2 - Teide Volcano   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Teide has erupted only once in the 20th Century, in 1909, but is considered a potentially threatening volcano due to its proximity to the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, shown in this image as the purple and white area on the lower right edge of the island.
The summit crater of Teide, clearly visible in the left center of the image, contains lava flows of various ages and roughnesses that appear in shades of green and brown.

 Asteroids with provisional designations, discovered at Teide Observatory
The asteroid 1998 PH was discovered with the IAC-80 Telescope, on August 3rd 1998 by Ferran Casarramona and Ester Vigil of the Agrupación Astronómica de Sabadell, and confirmed on August 5th by the sames observers.
They could only be credited to the Teide Observatory team if recovered in the future from the observatory, which is extremely unlikely, as their future position cannot really be predicted.
Because the duration of the Teide observations was shorter than the initial observations, the Teide Observatory observations only count as a recovery of the asteroid.
