The aim of the paper is to present the digitization of the results of last observations of bright stars made by the Belgrade vertical circle ASKANIA N?80118 (D = 190 mm, f = 2578 mm) at the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade. The observations are mainly made by Djuro Bozhichkovich in the period between 1982 and 1985. All of the found observational data and intermediary results are referenced and presented and some research possibilities are suggested.

AbstractThis paper is devoted to the discovery of asteroids at the Molėtai Astronomical Observatory (MAO) in 2010- 2012 together with the orbital analysis of two dynamically interesting Near Earth Objects (NEOs) discovered at the MAO, namely 2006 SF77 and 2010 BT3. We used the OrbFit software v.5.0 to compute orbits and to analyze orbital evolution of 2006 SF77 and 2010 BT3. We computed value of the Lyapunov time: 830 years for 2006 SF77 and 1650 year for 2010 BT3.We also searched for possible impacts of 2006 SF77 and 2010 BT3 with the Earth, Venus and Mars in the next 15000 years.

An examination of some specialized lunar and planetary ephemerides has revealed inconsistencies in the adopted planetary masses, the presence of non-gravitational terms, and some outright numerical errors. They should be considered of temporary usefulness only, subject to subsequent amendment as required for the interpretation of observational data.

AbstractThe observational data of July 11, 1991 eclipse solar corona obtained by both electropolarimeter (EP) and CCD-matrix were processed. Using these data, the solar corona photometry was carried out. The results of EP data are compared with the ones of CCD data. It must be noted here that the CCD data give us only characteristics of the inner corona, while the EP data show the features of both the inner and middle corona up to 4R⊙. Standard flattening indexϵis evaluated from both data. The dependence of the flattening index on the distance from the solar limb is investigated. The isophotes in Na and Ca lines are plotted. Based on these data some ideas and conclusions on the type of the solar corona are presented.

SummaryFrom the analysis of the observational data of about 100 Ap stars, the radii have been computed under the assumption that Ap are main sequence stars. Radii range from 1.4 to 4.9 solar units. These values are all compatible with the Deutsch's period versus line-width relation.

Meridian observations of fundamental stars were made at Breslau Observatory in 1922 to 1925. The observations in right ascension were made by W.Rabe with the 6-inch transit instrument, whereas the declinations were observed by A.Wilkens with the vertical circle. In both coordinates, observations of the Sun were also made.
