    WOW cool! No do not tell me how you do it. It is way cool that you can. 😃

    Very nice - I was about to mention the Horizon database but I see you've already found it! I think these have been pretty thoroughly searched but it's nice to think that one or two objects might have slipped through the net.

    Trust me if anyone could find something that has slipped through the net, it is @C_Cld 😃

    heres a collection of asteroids ive made over the years

    @wtaskew Please could you sort out your collection as to select fast moving asteroids which display a green streak greater than ~3" (~1.2 degree/day).

    To my knowledge, this search of NEO in SDSS has already been done by scientific teams but on DR7 limited to runs less than 7265. It could be useful to mine the next runs available (7265- 8162) on SDSS DR10.

    Happy hunting!
