Recently, as various damages are expected due to the risk of falling space debris, many studies are being carried out to acquire space object information. In this research, an optical-based space object surveillance system was developed to acquire information about space objects. To acquire orbit information by photographing a space object with this system, the accuracy of position data of the space object is important. The telescope coordinate is located in the 2D CCD plane of the telescope, and the space objects are in the celestial coordinate. The two coordinates have a non-linear relation caused by a deflection of the mechanical system, a scattering of the atmosphere and so on. In this study, we propose an alignment method for two coordinate systems. First, a model that analyzes the geometric relation between the telescope system on earth and space objects is explained. Then, we also propose a second model with the addition of correction parameters. As a result of performing coordinate alignment according to the method and procedure proposed in this study, the pointing accuracy is lowered below 3 arcsec.
