Frank B. Zoltowski

Frank B. Zoltowski (born 1957) is an Australian amateur astronomer and prolific discoverer of minor planets who lives in Woomera, South Australia.

In 1998, he was awarded a "Gene Shoemaker NEO Grant" for improved near-Earth object searches.

[2][3] Zoltowski conducts these searches from his home with a charge-coupled device camera.

He authored CCDTRACK, a computer program that auto-guides electronically controlled telescopes by tracking a user-selected celestial object.

[6][7][8] The main-belt asteroid 18292 Zoltowski, discovered at the George R. Agassiz Station of the Harvard College Observatory in 1977, was named in his honor.
