511 independent fields were photographed with the 0.46m Schmidt during 15 observing runs along with a limited number of 1.2m Schmidt exposures. From these fields 122 new asteroids were reported. Special sets of field using the 1.2m Schmidt are continuing to yield numerous new faint asteroids. The combined result from both telescopes include 4 Mars-crossers, 3 Hungarias, 2 Phocaeas, a unique high inclination object (1985XB), 1 Apollo (1985PA) and Aten (3362) Khufu. Halley was regularly monitored (astrometry and large-scale phenomena) IHW participation. Scientifically value photographs were obtained from both 0.46m and 1.2m Schmidt Telescopes. Other accessible comets were observed including G-Z. Recently a new comet (1986d) was discovered.
