Scientific paper

Since May 1998 Valencia Observatory has a new double refractor at "Centro Astrómico del Alto Turia" (CAAT) and can use a Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope at Burjassot University Campus. On 2001 OAUV started observations with a CCD AP10 sensor that allows to obtain field images 0.5° wide. In this presentation, actual asteroids and satellites observation programs are described. In satellites observations accurate ephemerides for every hour, obtained with Institute of Applied Astronomy (IAA) software package "ERA system", provide identification of satellites. Other algorithms are very similar to applied in asteroids observations. Results are analysed taking into account image quality, star density, catalogue (GSC++, Tycho-2), fitting residual. The effects on O.C are considered.
