John Broughton John Broughton is an Australian amateur astronomer and artist. He is among the most prolific discoverers of minor planets worldwide, credited by the Minor Planet Center with more than a thousand discoveries made between 1997 and 2008. His observations are done at Reedy Creek Observatory , in Queensland , Australia .Planetary Society to support his work on near-Earth asteroids. The money enabled the purchase of a CCD camera for use initially on a 10" SCT and later on a 20" f/2.7 automated telescope he designed and constructed, with first light occurring 10 April 2004.24105 Broughton was named in his honour in 2005, and he later won an Australian national award the 2008 Page Medal.Discoveries and research He is the discoverer of four near-Earth objects, two of which are potentially hazardous asteroids . Discovered 11 April 2004 on the first full night of operations with the 20" telescope, Apollo asteroid is one of only 157 known kilometer-size PHAs and the largest such discovery made by a non-professional astronomer. The short-period comet P/2005 T5 was discovered in October, 2005, followed nine months later by the hyperbolic comet C/2006 OF2 at a distant 7.7 AU from the sun and more than two years from reaching perihelion .asteroid occultations by taking trailed CCD exposures and measuring the resulting dips in brightness. Subsequently, he developed methods and applications to facilitate the observation, timing and analysis. By 2010 he had switched to using sensitive video cameras, and began designing telescopes better suited to multi-station field work than what is commercially available, culminating in collapsible alt-alt telescopes of moderate size, compact enough to take anywhere in the world in standard airline baggage. In 2011 he formulated a method to derive asteroid dimensions by integrating the results of separate occultations. The tables are periodically updated and now include over 500 asteroids.8749 Beatles 3 April 1998 8958 Stargazer 23 March 1998 9241 Rosfranklin 10 August 1997 11196 Michanikos 22 January 1999 11365 NASA 23 March 1998 11425 Wearydunlop 18 June 1999 12113 Hollows 29 July 1998 12542 Laver 10 August 1998 13298 Namatjira 15 September 1998 14621 Tati 22 October 1998 15092 Beegees 15 March 1999 15495 Bogie 17 February 1999 15550 Sydney 31 March 2000 15947 Milligan 2 January 199816046 Gregnorman 5 May 1999 16155 Buddy 3 January 2000 16260 Sputnik 9 May 2000 17023 Abbott 7 March 1999 17024 Costello 15 March 1999 17038 Wake 26 March 1999 17058 Rocknroll 13 April 199917059 Elvis 15 April 1999 17078 Sellers 24 April 1999 17166 Secombe 17 June 1999 17269 Dicksmith 3 June 2000
