Conclusions

A search of tex2html_wrap_inline220 near the ecliptic to a limiting magnitude of tex2html_wrap_inline222 has been conducted for bright Kuiper belt objects. This search and other surveys constrain the number of Kuiper belt objects brighter than our limiting magnitude to tex2html_wrap_inline352. Surveys with the planned tex2html_wrap_inline354 CCD on the Siding Spring 40-inch telescope should provide an improved estimate of the population of bright Kuiper Belt Objects and further constrain the bright end of the luminosity function.
