    Observations of the main-belt 3736 Rokoske were conducted over 8 nights between 2022 March 25 and 2022 April 23. Images were collected using three telescopes in the USA, Malta and Italy. 3736 Rokoske has a diameter of 19.5km and an absolute magnitude of 11.15. The phase lightcurve resulted in a rotation period of 17.411+-0.004h and 0.10+-0.02 mag amplitude.peer-reviewe

    Photometric observations of asteroid 1466 Mundleria were conducted using telescopes located in New Mexico, Italy and Malta between 2022 Mar 4 and Apr 25. An analysis of these data yielded a rotation period of 89.280+- 0.065h.peer-reviewe

    Lightcurve analysis of five main-belt asteroids : 3446 Combes,(9410) 1995 BJ1,(17780) 1998 FY13,(24491) 2000 YT 123, and 28341 Bingaman

    An observing campaign was conducted among teams at the University of Maryland, College Park, and in Malta to determine the rotation period of 3446 Combes during 2019 March and April. Lightcurve analysis using MPO Canopus of the asteroid was conducted in order to determine its rotation period. Using the eight nights of data, 3446 Combes was found to have a rotation period of 5.6990 ± 0.0005 h and an amplitude of 0.18 mag. The University of Maryland team also observed four additional asteroids that serendipitously appeared in the images: (9410) 1995 BJ, (17780) 1998 FY13, (24491) 2000 YT123, and 28341 Bingaman. These were observed only one night each and only the raw data for them are presented.peer-reviewe
