Abstract
In this article, the methodology of using a telescope and charge-coupled device camera for organizing astrometric observations of asteroids and comets, as well as photometric observations of asteroids, is presented. Since astronomy is not studied as a separate subject in schools in Romania and the Republic of Moldova (as well as in many other countries), this methodology can be used within extracurricular activities for students. The observations described in the article took place at the astronomical observatory within the ‘Răsvan Angheluță’ Natural Sciences Museum Complex in Galați, Romania.
