Abstract.
Astrometry of faint and slowly moving objects in the outer solar system
is considered to be the target for large telescopes, but in special cases
observations using small telescopes were obtained. We have measured
precise positions of several Centaur-type asteroids (including recovery
of 1997 CU26) and also of Transneptunian object 1996 TL66
using 0.57-m f/5.2 reflector equipped with CCD at the Klet Observatory.
This work will be extended to fainter objects with new
1.02-m reflector at Klet, whose start of operation is planned
in the turn of 1998/1999.
