The orbital elements of the most of our newly 16 asteroids, discovered in July and August, were significantly improved. This was achieved mainly by our additional observations performed remotely by 0.61cm RC telescope at H11 observatory (New Mexico, USA). The orbital arc for the most the bodies were extended to about 30-40 days and in the case of 2009 OD2 and 2009 OW2 (U=5 now) to more than 60 days. We also found some of the asteroids on NEAT archive images and based on other old observations, which was linked by MPC, 2009 QJ5 is now observed in 6 oppositions when 2009 QT33 and 2009 QU33 in 4 oppositions. All of these asteroids were observed more than one night in each apparition and according to IAU rules 2009 QJ5 should be numbered soon.
More information about the orbital elements you can find in the results section.
