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.

Choustník is a castle founded in the mid-thirteenth century. Under the brothers Beneš and Jan of Choustník two similar palaces with square towers were built. Choustník is a rare example of twin castles. It was abandoned in the seventeenth century. The name was suggested by M. Tichý.
