Abstract
In this work we present a system for autonomous discovery of asteroids, space trash and other moving objects. This system performs astronomical image data reduction based on an image processing pipeline. The processing steps of the pipeline include astrometric and photometric reduction, sequence alignment, moving object detection and astronomical analysis, making the system capable of discovering and monitoring previously unknown moving objects in the night sky.
