Seven new MB asteroids have been discovered in the course of the A79 observations. The bodies were designed by MPC as 2009 QK32, 2009 QU34, 2009 QL34, 2009 QV33, 2009 QU33, 2009 QS33 and 2009 QT33. According to the current orbital elements three of them are members of the inner zone of the belt, two of the central and two are in the outer zone. The first asteroid, 2009 QK32, was identified on 25/08/2009 and conformed in the next night, when other five bodies on 26/08/2009. 2009 QU34 was discovered on 28/09/2009 during the conformation of 2009 QL34 and has the highest brightness (currently 19.4V). More information about the orbital elements you can find in the results section.
Meanwhile, we continue to observe remotely our previously discovered in July asteroids by 0.61m telescope at Light bucked observatory (MPC H11 code).
