- Amateur asteroid observers and open-science readers
- Worth noticing
- The planned observation block uses four 300-second exposures, with a known asteroid as the control.
Field notes
The homepage exposes an intended observing protocol rather than a functioning survey: fields are queued by sky position, and each hour is divided into two fields with four long exposures apiece. Its proposed validation step is unusually concrete—a catalogued asteroid must be recovered within one arcsecond before an empty field can mean anything. The ledger is also designed to preserve failed or empty observations, not only discoveries.
