Scientific paper

A systematic search of the solar system was conducted for unusual objects, especially slow-moving ones, with a limiting magnitude of 21, from December 1976 through February 1985; a total of 160 fields was photographed on each of two nights, for a total coverage of 6400 sq deg. Priority was given to fields on the ecliptic. Tabular summaries are presented of the objects discovered during the search. Several comets and earth-approaching asteroids were found, but only one object, 2060 Chiron, was discovered beyond the orbit of Jupiter.
