Abstract
We describe the procedure followed during the 1997 and 1998 survey campaigns of satellites, comets and asteroids. The observations were done with a large CCD attached to the Schmidt telescope of the Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory. A comparison of the results of previous searches (i.e. the Palomar-Leiden Survey and the Uppsala-ESO Survey of Asteroids and Comets) is also presented, in order to discuss the main contributions that wil come from the new results.
