So if we can believe reality is objective, morality must be objective too. This is because morality is a part of reality. One bases his morality on reality. That is what Objectivism claims to be. It claims to be a philosophy for living in this reality.
Can morality change from person to person? I think so. Since I am capable of having different morals than you, morality is by definition not objective. It is subjective, and to some degree intersubjective within cultures, but is by no means objective. Abstract ideaologies can not be objective.
