Astro+2010

** Results: ** We have confirmed a few asteroids.
===** Discussion and Conclusion: ** We have had some telescope tracking problems, however we have been able to find and photograph the asteroid 908 Buda. This helps people that are keeping track of known asteroids because we can send them our information which they can then upload into their database. ===
