Well done on getting an asteroid named for you.

I was able to obtain some images of "your" asteroid with my 40cm Newtonian reflector.  It was not a very good night, but I wanted to get something for you. I used 60 sec exposures with out a filter.  The asteroid can be seen on the image.  However I stacked 17 images and it is easier to identify.  The asteroid also "blinks" nicely over 30 images The I have posted images on the forum and my BAA observers page.  I can let you have the images if you wish.  americowatkins@aol.com  When you move onto your asteroid may I come and visit :) ?
