John Broughton
{| class="wikitable floatright" style="font-size: 0.9em; width: 270px" |+ Minor planets discovered: 1180 |- | ''see '' |}John Broughton (born 1952) is an Australian amateur astronomer and artist. He is among the most prolific discoverers of minor planets worldwide, credited by the Minor Planet Center with more than a thousand discoveries made between 1997 and 2008. His observations are done at Reedy Creek Observatory , in Queensland, Australia.
In 2002, Broughton was one of five astronomers to be awarded a "Gene Shoemaker NEO Grant" by the Planetary Society to support his work on near-Earth asteroids. The money enabled the purchase of a CCD camera for use initially on a 10" SCT and later on a 20" f/2.7 automated telescope he designed and constructed, with first light occurring 10 April 2004.
Asteroid 24105 Broughton was named in his honour in 2005, and he later won an Australian national award the 2008 Page Medal. Provided by Wikipedia
