Searching database of minor planet names
The catalog of asteroids discovered at Klet can be searched in two ways. In the first one, pick a starting letter of asteroid's name from the listed alphabet. In the second way, start writing an expression to search (diacritics is allowed), and after at least three letters are typed, the results are automatically listed. The search can also be performed only on asteroid names, catalogue numbers, date of discovery or names of the discoverers.

Named in memory of Charles Dillon Perrine (1867-1951), American astronomer working at Lick Observatory from 1893, an enthusiastic observer, who discovered the satelites Jupiter VI (Himalia) and VII (Elara) and nine comets during 1895-1902. He was appointed director of the Córdoba Observatory in Argentina in 1909 and retired 1936. The discoverer of this minor planet rediscovered Perrine's periodic comet, lost for six returns, visually at Lomnický Štít in 1955. After 1968 the comet was again lost. Name suggested J. Tichá, who search unsuccessfully for this comet, now known as 18D/Perrine-Mrkos, at Kleť in 1995.
