Why is it sometimes better to use a small telescope in orbit around the Earth than it is to use a large telescope on a mountain top? ... What will an observer looking to the Moon through the telescope see? ... Paper with a drown circle and table of maximal elongations of Mercury and Venus had been done for participants. ...

... Some considerations on the subject of what can be done and what should be done to enlarge contribution of Russian researches to solution of the problem of the asteroid-comet hazard are presented. In connection with transition to the second stage of Spaceguard survey an important task is the development of national program of Russian participation in NEOs monitoring. ... An urgent task seems to be organizing in Russia a re-gional center for NEO monitoring. ...
