Only provisional at this stage. According to Norman Falla (who's discovery list is huuuuuuuuuge) it takes about 5 years minimum to get official credit for them.
Bloody pain of a thing to do. I ended up writing my own step by step guide on how to discover asteroids, because it seemed nobody else had written one.

I only sighted Neptune for the first time this year, and that was with binoculars.

What would be the smallest telescope you would need to see Triton?
