Аннотация

Detection of transient phenomena is of great interest in many astronomical projects. CCD frames obtained with modern telescopes with robotic operation allow carrying out standard observation programs for detection of peculiar objects on stellar backgrounds, as is the case of Near Earth Objects (NEOs)
