An application of the Classical Laplacian Method and new Pulkovo AMP-method for current asteroid orbit determinations is given. The CERES software package created at the Institute of Theoretical Astronomy (Russia) was applied to calculate (O-C)-differences for 200 numbered minor planets observed irregularly and quasisimultaneously in 1993 by CCD as well as by photographic techniques at 25 observatories (ESO, SERGA, Kitt Peak etc.). The accuracy of the observations was estimated by means of the standard error of the average (O-C) differences for each type of observation obtained by each telescope. As a whole the CCD-observations of the numbered minor planets are considerably more precise in comparison to the photographic ones. Some results are given in Table 1.
