Where to find moving targets

• International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC) has a search form for asteroids
• Near-Earth Object Human Space Flight Accessible Targets Study (NHATS) is really designed to find targets which are accessible to spacecraft, needing only small delta-V, but it does provide some information for observing opportunities.
• The NEO confirmation page lists objects which have JUST been detected and need confirmation
• The NEA Observation planning aid will help to plan an observing run for some particular site and date
• IAU Minor Planet Center is a good place to start.
• The Lowell Observatory Asteroid Observing Services have a number of useful programs and lists.
