Many thanks to Michael for posting the info and similar thanks to everyone for the kind wishes.
Certainly discovering an asteroid was a dream in itself and now discovering two is something that I would have considered unthinkable just a few short years ago. It is a testament to dedication of many other amateurs that we have arrived at this point for without the support and encouragement of many many people this would not have been possible. Of course it is not possible to mention everyone but I think a special mention to Mr.Asteroid, Dave McDonald and of course Andreas Doppler and Eamonn Ansboro. Without the support of these guys, this would not have been possible. I also want to say thanks to Carl for his untiring support and encouragement.
The story of 2009 EN1 began last Sunday night. My setup had been out of commission for some time due to a problem with the camera. I was really only getting back up to speed in the last few weeks, but as ye all know the weather has been severely limiting opportunities. Last Sunday was one of the best nights in some time and a really good opportunity to let go at a serious search effort. When I got a hit I felt full sure that this was something that would readily be identified with a known object but the more I looked the more I began to think 'just maybe'.
With all such discoveries nowadays, it is highly likely that one of the big surveys might have gotten a 'one night stand' on this object. Although its never possible to know this for sure, there is a pretty good chance that linear or catalina have one night 'in the bag'. Therefore getting a second night quickly is vital as there is good chance that they will sweep this area again and get a second night which would then give them discovery credit. Monday night looked good on paper, but some might remember that around 9pm the satellite pics showed cloud magically appearing from apparant clear skies. The Moon would be a problem as the week progressed and I must admit, I thought this one might not work out. Thankfully, Tuesday night turned out to be exceptionally transparent although it was rather windy. The new object was easily picked up despite relatively bright moonlight. I've never empirically tested the absolute mag limit of my system (14" SCT and SBIG ST-402 CCD) however I suspect that it must be possible to go fainter than mag +20.0 on good nights. I really must test this hypothesis on such an evening.
Anyway I prepared and submitted the report to the Minor Planet Center and waited and waited until finally I got an e-mail this afternoon it read
DG00002 K09E01N
In short this means "The object you call Dg00002 is now offically 2009 EN1"
Anyway thanks again to everyone for the kind words
