Interesting. Too bad the southern hemisphere is quite devoid of projects of
this nature. There
is still plenty of sky that isn't being watched for NEO asteroids.

Yes, to be complete we need similar telescopes in southern Africa and
Chile.

For the time being, amateurs can still make a few discoveries until
the situation is corrected.
