Scientific paper

Initial orbit determination for distant objects can be made a simple linear problem with explicit solutions. This is similar to stellar parallax work, with very difficult observations but simple computations. A very simple procedure for computing ephemerides for distant objects is proposed. The optimum distribution of observations in time and regions is investigated. The problem of double solutions, linking, elongation, and latitude, and accuracy of elements are also discussed.
