Abstract
Over 20 asteroids were observed photometrically for period determinations and phase relation studies. These included 1036 Ganymed, the largest Mars-crossing asteroid known, and 1627 Ivar, an earth-approaching asteroid which is a potential space mission target. Doppler images of P/Halley from TMO were obtained. Initial testing of the JPL/TMO CCD camera system has supported by imaging P/Giacobini-Zinner and P/Halley.
