You dont get your name on a comet unless you tell the MPC that it is a comet with the discovery astrometry report. This one looked asteroidal on 30 sec exposures. Rob only noticed it had a coma after adding 6 X 60 sec exposures, and the barest minimum coma was there, only seen due to the very good seeing that night. I've got a few like that, not much that can be done as we use short exposures for surveying, so we will always report a few as asteroids rather than comets.
Prospects are for it to be not very exciting!
