If your site has appropriate scientific value or content, email the SPACEWATCH® Webmaster about it. We will inspect it and let you know about its suitability or unsuitability for linking by us. We cannot link to sites arbitrarily, without investigating whether the site has bearing on our field. Thanks for your understanding and consideration in this matter.

Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, SPACEWATCH® does not offer training for other observing programs. There are too few of us to have time to teach anyone else, and our equipment, software, and methods are too different from what everyone else is using for such an effort to be worthwhile. We suggest that you contact the Minor Planet Mailing List and ask whether you could visit someone who uses software and equipment similar to what you would be likely to procure for yourself.

There are several flavors of space object tracking software available on the internet - some free and others that cost some money. If you are looking for software that will show an object's position (RA and Dec) in the sky, there are numerous planetarium programs that do that. There are also programs that give a "space view" of the solar system from anywhere in the solar system. Here are a few sites worth checking out that may be of help:

The Minor Planet Center 
Near Earth Objects Dynamics Site 
JPL Horizons

Each planet in the solar system exerts some force on the Earth, however small that force may be. Most of it comes from the sun and the moon. For example, the moon is the primary reason we have tides. As you may know, twice per month there is a higher than usual tide. This occurs when the sun and the moon are lined up and acting to "tug" at the Earth in the same direction -- causing more pronounced tides. No other planets contribute to the Earth's tides because they are very far away, and gravitational force varies inversely with the square of the distance.

Try going to this site:  https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/fulsdavid/the-daily-minor-planet to volunteer to look for asteroids.  It is run by the Catalina Sky Survey https://catalina.lpl.arizona.edu/ at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory.
