One more observatory applying CoLiTec software!
During July’s lunation CoLiTec software started its experimental application on 40-cm. «Santel400» telescope (ISON-Kislovodsk observatory (MPC code D00)). CoLiTec efficient application has already shown 2987 observations of 759 asteroids; three asteroid’s discovery, which obtained provisional designations 2012 OH1, 2012 OB2 and 2012 OC2. More detailed information on results of experimental application of CoLiTec software will be available after the next Minor Planet Center circular’s batch.
