About us

We are a collaboration of amateur astronomers (members from 🇩🇪, 🇮🇳, 🇺🇸, 🇦🇹) focused on detecting and recovering asteroids, submitting our observations to the IAU's Minor Planet Center (MPC).
We are using Tycho's GPU-accelerated synthetic tracking capability to detect even faint objects which are not visually detectable in individual exposures.

Observatory code: X09
Telescope location: DeepSkyChile
Telescope system: PlaneWave CDK400 (CDK17 + L500 mount)
Camera: QYHCCD QHY600PH-M

If you like the idea of applying computational and brain power to finding new asteroids and refining existing orbits, helping scientists along the way, feel free to join us!
