Scientific paper

Programmes for obtaining the precise positions of minor planets at the Skalnaté Pleso Observatory and results obtained are described. The observations have been carried out since 1965. Two telescopes (0.3-m f/5 astrograph and 0.61-m f/4.2 Newton) and two different methods (photography and CCD camera) have been used. The description consists of characteristics of observing methods, measurements and calculations. In total, 3303 precise positions of minor planets have been obtained. These were published continually in the Minor Planet Circulars and later in the Minor Planet Circulars Supplement. Complete data together with the lists of reference stars and dependences were published in the journal Contributions of the Astronomical Observatory Skalnaté Pleso. A list of collaborators is also given, together with their part in photographing, measuring and reducing the positions.
