Mount Lemmon Survey
Mount Lemmon Survey is a part of the Catalina Sky Survey with observatory code G96. Distance from rotation axis and height above equatorial plane (in Earth radii): 0.8451 +0.5336. Longitude (degrees East): 249.2083. The survey is conducted using a 1.5 meter (60 inch) f/2 telescope and is currently the most prolific telescope in the world discovering Near-Earth Objects
The survey accidentally rediscovered 206P/Barnard-Boattini, a lost comet, on October 7, 2008, by Andrea Boattini. The comet has made 20 revolutions since 1892 and passed within 0.3 - 0.4 AU from Jupiter in 1922, 1934 and 2005. This comet was also the first comet to be discovered by photographic means, by the American astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard did so on the night of October 13, 1892. 
2011 UN63 was discovered by the Mt. Lemmon Survey on September 27, 2009 and it is a stable L5 Mars trojan asteroid.  The survey also discovered the unusual Aten asteroid 2012 FC71, a dynamically cold Kozai resonator, on March 31, 2012.
