I have a long standing, developing interest in minor planet work, both in discovery and occultations, as well as supernova searches. My contributions to the above so far have been on a mostly academic level, while I try to both gear up and do some learning to support them. I need a better camera for any serious nova and minor planet searches, as my current ones are not cooled and are low bit depth.
