My best congratulations to Timur and also to Dave, you both have done great work together.
There is a four-paged topic at Astronomy.ru forum about the discovery - it was very interesting to read it. By the way, Denis Denisenko have mentioned (
here - in russian) the first Irish asteroid, the 2nd and the 3rd (as it was talken here some time ago), also he provided links to Dave's webiste.
It the same topic, there was an info mentioned about two more NEOs - (2212) Hephaistos и (5324) Lyapunov - which were previously discovered in Soviet Russia, so this one is possibly not the first.
But it is the
first amateur NEO from Russia.
