During sky survey in 13-14 September ISON-Kislovodsk observers with help of CoLiTec program has discovered a near Earth object received a provisional designation 2012 RQ16. You could see electronic circular of MPC dedicated to this event. This is first NEO discovered by ISON-Kislovodsk observatory and the second NEO discovered with help of our program. The first NEO discovered with help of CoLiTec by ISON-NM observatory in August 2011
