Ernie Halberg, Discovers Asteroid 2010 DC

Using the GRAS global remote telescope network Ernie homed in on his target. His choice instrument was GRAS004 located in New Mexico, USA.
GRAS also provides free no obligation demonstrations for those with an internet connection. Video tutorials are also available.
