... A glance at the article might leave you assuming that the planet was discovered using a large telescope at a remote, high-elevation location or perhaps by a multi- billion dollar observatory in Earth orbit. Reading on, you may be surprised to find that astronomers actually discovered the planet with a small telescope located not too far from the city of Tucson, Arizona. ... Well, don't give up, because you can observe interesting celestial sights near low-elevation big cities. ...

... Advises . Contact Advises . As an advise for amateurs we would like to underline: if it's possible, try to observe 3 asteroid positions per night and do not neglect to observe the Numbered Minor Planets in your telescope field of view as a "by product" of your observational programs. ... We think such estimations ought to be produced every morning after CCD observations of the moving celestial objects by observer himself. ...
