Abstract
The asteroid 2078 Nanking was observed with the 1-m-telescope at Sangl ok Observatory, Tadjikistan. The rotation period was determined to be 6.463 h. The absolute magnitude V(1,0) was found to be 13.2 mag, the l ightcurve amplitude Delta V = 0.8 mag, and the colors U-B, B-V, V-R ar e 0.22 mag, 0.85 mag and 0.59 mag, respectively. Assuming that the geo metric albedo rho(upsilon) = 0.12, the size of Nanking is 9 x 6 km.
