Near-Earth asteroid 2024 QS found by me

On 08/26/2024 02:00 pm by Filipp Romanov| Remotely at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia

I have been searching for asteroids in images from remote telescopes from time to time for almost two years, and I have discovered four asteroids that have received their names, but on August 26, 2024, I made a great find - I found a near-Earth asteroid in the images obtained using the 0.51-m f/6.8 remote telescope T59 (located in Australia, at the Siding Spring Observatory) of the iTelescope.Net network, which is visible in all 8 photos (with exposures of 300 seconds each, the stacked image is attached here: a photo of this near-Earth asteroid) of one of the fields of the sky. It received the provisional designation 2024 QS https://minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K24/K24Q53.html and passing 12.1 LD (lunar distances) from the Earth on September 9th in 00:39 UT.
