... Down), have conducted astrometric observations of main-belt and near-Earth asteroids using the Observatory's ST-7 CCD camera attached to the Armagh Planetarium's 10-inch Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Three main-belt asteroids were observed, namely (304)Olga, (849)Ara and (1146)Biarmia. ... It is believed that these observations were also the first Earth-approaching near-Earth asteroid to be observed with the Faulkes Telescope (see http://star.arm.ac.uk/press/2000PH5.html). ...
