Abstract
Details of asteroids for which astrometry is required can be obtained from a number of sources as described in this chapter, which is structured so that the easier options, imaging the brighter asteroids, are described first followed by the more complex. A plea – these sources will provide you with enough targets to keep you busy so do not waste your time and that of the Minor Planet Center by imaging and reporting on those asteroids for which data is not requested.
