Astrometry of small Solar System bodies at the Mol[edottai observatory

We describe an observational project devoted to astrometric observations of Near-Earth Objects (NEO), main belt asteroids and comets at the Mol[edottai Observatory, Lithuania. Exposures are obtained with the two telescopes of the observatory: 0.35/0.50 m f/3.5 Maksutov telescope and the 1.65 m refle...

Zusammenfassung:We describe an observational project devoted to astrometric observations of Near-Earth Objects (NEO), main belt asteroids and comets at the Mol[edottai Observatory, Lithuania. Exposures are obtained with the two telescopes of the observatory: 0.35/0.50 m f/3.5 Maksutov telescope and the 1.65 m reflector with focal reductor f/3.1 and CCD camera. The results of more than 10,000 positions of asteroids and comets have been published in the Minor Planet Circulars and Minor Planet Electronic Circulars. During the 2001-2006 period 130 new asteroids were discovered. The latest discovery is the high-inclination asteroid 2006 SF77 belonging to the NEO Aten group.
