To make detection and follow-up observations of near-earth asteroids (NEOs), a new project to build 0.5 m and 1.0 m telescopes has been started with a support of the Science and Technology Agency in Japan. These are the first telescopes designed from its beginning to dedicate specifically to the NEO observations and are expected to be one of the most efficient telescopes for the NEO observations. It is expected to obtain several ten giga-byte data per one clear night. Such large numbers of data are able to share with international groups. These sharing activities will contribute 1) for us to obtain data of asteroid with the lowest level of signal, and 2) for those groups to study how to reduce astronomical data.
