In this study, we are providing the accuracies and precisions of our observations made with a 100 cm in diameter telescope (T-100) at TUBITAK National observatory (TUG) located in Antalya, in order to determine the efficiency of T-100 telescope for GAIA's ground base observations. In this respect, we have studied 1565 (Lemaitre) and 1665 (Gaby) which are well-known main belt asteroids using T100 telescope and by obtaining new orbital parameters of Lemaitre with a fit with RMS around 0.2 for both asteroids, respectively. Our results indicate that T100 telescope and our observational equipments are sufficient to participate GAIA follow up ground base observational tasks. T100 and capacity of other observational equipments seem very convenient for astrometric observations.
