The asteroid discoveries documented in my website refer to three phases of discoveries:
1. Discoveries from the online archive of Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) images.
2. Discoveries from the online archive of CCD images from the NEAT program.
3. Discoveries from a remotely-controlled telescope in New Mexico.
The DSS images were digitized from 6896 photographic (glass) plates taken between 1949 and 2000. The plates are from the National Geographic Society - Palomar Observatory Surveys I and II, and from various Southern Sky Surveys at Siding Spring Observatory. Although there are many wide-field plates available online, and discoveries are credited to amateurs, the plates are poorly distributed in time and position (Right Ascension and Declination) to find and follow-up an asteroid. Nevertheless, since 2002 I have discovered 54 minor planets from this resource.
The NEAT (Near Earth Asteroid Tracking) program is a survey to discover and track earth-approaching asteroids. Many of the CCD images from the survey have been put online. Up to September of 2003, discoveries from the NEAT archive were credited to amateurs, but since that date, all discoveries have been credited to NEAT. I discovered 86 minor planets using the NEAT images.
Using the remote facilities of Global-Rent-A-Scope in Mayhill, New Mexico, I have discovered 454 minor planets from 2005 to 2010.
