Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. Today's 2 topics: - Asteroid 878 Mildred was lost for 75 years and has now been found! - The Catalina Sky Survey has a newly refurbished 40" robotic telescope that is only used for follow-up observations so that the venerable 30" & 60" can look for new targets.
