PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an observation instrument control device that allows a user to perform observation along a shape of a view point locus desired by the user, and can include a plurality of points or a region intended by the user in an observation range.SOLUTION: An observation instrument control device 100 for controlling the posture of an observation instrument that observes a ground surface comprises: a view point locus calculation unit 110 that obtains coordinates of a plurality of observation points on the ground surface as observation point coordinates 210, and calculates a consecutive view point locus including the obtained plurality of observation point coordinates 210 and viewed from the observation instrument as a view point locus 1101; and a view point motion calculation unit 120 that obtains the view point locus 1101 calculated by the view point locus calculation unit 110, and calculates a view point position at the view point locus 1101 and a view point movement speed at the view point position as view point motion 1201.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
