The Observatorio Astronómico Los Molinos (OALM) is the only professional observatory in Uruguay. Its research activity is dedicated to the study of Small Bodies of the Solar System, i.e. comets and asteroids. It is one of the few observatories in the southern hemisphere dedicated to this topic. The observational programmes that we are conducting at present are described, putting especial emphasis in the results obtained last year.
