Abstract
The UK Schmidt Telescope (UKST) has been involved in asteroid work since 1979, initially on the UK-Caltech Asteroid Survey (UCAS) and more recently with the Lowell-UK Asteroid Survey (LUKAS). In addition to these major programs, a number of smaller projects have been undertaken. These include searches for Trojan asteroids of Saturn and Jupiter, distant moons of Neptune and Uranus and distant solar system objects. Most of these are on-going projects.
