Abstract

In 2004-2007, 560 observations of 17 Near-Earth Asteroids of 15-21 magnitudes were made at the Russian-Turkish telescope (RTT150). The reduction was made using reference stars from the UCAC2 and USNO-B1 catalogues. The comparison of the observed and calculated positions of the asteroids using the HORIZONS system gave standard errors of a single position in the range 0.05 divided by 0.50 ''. Analysis of the (O - C) is given in this paper.
