7545 Smaklösa, provisional designation 1978 OB, is a stony asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 4 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 28 July 1978, by Swedish astronomer Claes-Ingvar Lagerkvist at Mount Stromlo Observatory in Canberra, Australia.
The S-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.7–2.8 AU once every 3 years and 5 months (1,242 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.23 and an inclination of 7° with respect to the ecliptic. As no precoveries were taken, the asteroid's observation arc begins with its discovery in 1978.
In August 2012, a rotational light-curve was obtained for this asteroid at the Oakley Southern Sky Observatory in Coonabarabran, Australia. The photometric observation showed a well-defined rotation period of ±0.004 hours with a brightness variation of 0.75 in 14.322magnitude (U=3). Similar periods of ±0.220 and 14.330±0.0218 hours were derived at the U.S 14.3002Palomar Transient Factory in 2014 (U=2/2).
