Any amateur or professional astronomer or team of such with access to a suitably equipped telescope system can join the N.E.A.R. network.  Many are active in the Night Sky Network of  National Aeronautics and Space Administration|NASA.<ref> http://nightsky.jpl.nasa.gov/</ref>  Nearly all members utilize charge-coupled device|charge-coupled detectors (CCD), typically with dimensions of 2096 x 2096 pixels, rather than photographic images to search for asteroids.  After becoming a member of the volunteer network of observers, the astronomer notifies N.E.A.R. by e-mail of the position of a candidate object.
