Zoltowski conducts these searches from his home with a charge-coupled device camera.<ref name="planetary.org" /> He is a prolific discoverer of asteroids. He authored CCDTRACK, a computer program that auto-guides electronically controlled telescopes by tracking a user-selected celestial object.

He is mentioned in NASA's asteroid tracking database as an observer for asteroid Template:Mpl.<ref name="1998-QE2" /> Astronomers at the Minor Planet Center used Zoltowski's work to work out an estimated approach distance for Template:Mpl of 56,500 kilometers, and a closest approach date of Aug 7, 2027.<ref name="1999-AN10" /> It was thought to potentially crash into Earth.<ref name="Worlds-end" /><ref name="2044-AD" /><ref name="PS-Grant" />

The main-belt asteroid 18292 Zoltowski, discovered at the George R. Agassiz Station of the Harvard College Observatory in 1977, was named in his honor.<ref name="springer" /> The naming citation was published on 9 May 2001 (Template:Small).<ref name="MPC-Circulars-Archive" />
