 14 August '04 Major News about Minor Objects
Using a remote-controlled Observatorio Astronomico de Mallorca (OAM) 0.3m telescope, the Visnjan School of Astronomy (VSA) NEO group imaged 2004 PU42 while it was AP01598 on the Near-Earth Object Confirmation Page (NEOCP), but we were not able to detect it reliably.
The prediction on the NEOCP was based on the discovery set of observations only, and thus the predicted position as well as the predicted motion of this fast-moving object (FMO) certainly had some degree of uncertainty.
Also in the DOU are two positions from the 2004 PU42 confirmation period, on either side of midnight Wednesday, from the Visnjan student NEO group via the Observatorio Astronomico de Mallorca (OAM).
