We present a simplified solution to orbit determination of a binary systemfrom astrometric observations. An exact solution was found by Asada, Akasakaand Kasai by assuming no observational errors. We extend the solutionconsidering observational data. The generalized solution is expressed in termsof elementary functions, and therefore requires neither iterative nor numericalmethods.Comment: 15 pages; text improved, Accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journa
