Primary motivation for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) objects tracking with passive optical systems is from operational pointof view to support the tracking of space debris objects with Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR). The Faculty of Mathe-matics, Physics and Informatics of Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia (FMPI) operates 70 cm Newtoniantelescope (AGO70) situated at the Astronomical and Geophysical Observatory in Modra, Slovakia (AGO). Observationprogram of this sensor focuses on space debris tracking situated from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) up to GeosynchronousEarth Orbit (GEO).In our work we present the AGO70’s overall design and discuss in detail all its subsystems, as well as interfaces. Pre-sented will be its performance for real-time observation data provision towards SLR station to improve the station’stracking efficiency of LEO debris and of calibration objects (validation). Furthermore, the angle and range measure-ments acquired by two different sensors, AGO70 (passive optical) (SK), Graz SLR (active optical) (AT) are used forastrodynamic analysis of observed targets.
