Scientific paper

A prototype observatory was constructed near Socorro, New Mexico to search for and observe earth-approaching asteroids. Hardware modifications were made so that the discrimination of artificial satellites at an angular speed of 15 arcsec/sec can be used to observe minor planets at an angular speed of 0.01 arcsec/sec. Assuming no correlations between time of perigee passage and time of year, a recovery of 25 asteroids per year is expected.
