An object posted on the NEOCP has been confirmed from various observatories including La Cañada.
Observations conducted remotely over the internet from Madrid with the 0.40m Ritchie-Chretien telescope at La Cañada observatory on the night of the Monday 2011-June-27 confirm this as an Amor object.
The discovery and confirmation followup observations available at the Electronic circular MPEC 2011-M48
La Cañada Observatory, is an initiative by Juan Lacruz, the observatory started astrometric operations in the summer of 2002, it is registered as station J87 in the Minor Planet Center of the International Astronomical Union.
The Observatory also participates in the studies on minor bodies promoted by the Group on Meteorites, Minor Bodies, and Planetary Sciences of the Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC-IEEC).

Echeclus is back to quiescence, 2011-June-25
After a few days of cometary activity centaur Echeclus is back to the quiescent state and doesn't show any trace of coma in this stacked composition of 13 images 2 minutes each taken from La Cañada Observatory J87 the night of June the 25th.
Two NEOCP objects confirmed, 2011-06-26
Two objects posted on the NEOCP confirmed as (q < 1.665 AU)
SM975CA = 2011 MQ1 a=2.63
--------------------------
SM23718 = 2011 MS1
a=3.07
perihelion q= 1.64
aphelion Q=4.49
e = 0.46
i = 29.72
Tisserand parameter = 2.88, this may be an interesting object to follow.
