Astrometry for an accurate orbit determination of distant objects is usually made with large telescopes ranging from 2 to 10 meters. In selected cases the bright(er) part of their population has been effectively observed with small 0.6 to 1 meter class telescopes. We point out here methods and techniques used at the Kle Observatory including our results. The extension of this programme using a new larger telescope is in preparation. We also mention a possibility of using some web tools for call for follow-up.
