The Daily Minor Planet project, which focuses on citizen science, is set to improve its data processing capabilities with the addition of images from the Bok 2.3-meter telescope. This integration aims to enhance the project's overall data throughput.

Previously, the project relied solely on data from the Catalina Sky Survey’s Mt. Lemmon telescope. The introduction of Bok telescope data is expected to increase the volume and diversity of observations available to the science team.

This expansion is significant for the project's architecture, as it allows for a more robust analysis of minor planets and other celestial objects, ultimately improving the project's scientific output.
