(meteorobs) The newly discovered asteroid 2008 CM and Venus

[meteoreye at comcast.net]

Sinced it's a fairly large asteroid ( or degassed comet like 3200 Phaethon?) during the next several days enough observations should come in to greatly reduce the uncertainty of the orbit. I have added it to my list of asteroids that I monitor for the latest obs.
