Algorithms for analyzing CCD images in asteroid and satellite astrometric observations have been developed based on the software developed and applied previously to photographic plates. Specific software packages presented are: ephemeris of minor planets and satellites; stellar maps presentation; frame data files; measuring and reduction of CCD fields, residual of observations; and detection of moving objects. The software can be adapted to specific needs of other users.
