The article applies the observer method (introduced by \textit{E.~Busvelle} et al. [ Numerical integration of differential equations in the presence of first integrals: observer method, Appl. Math. 22, 373--418 (1994; Zbl 0819.34008)] to four dynamical systems arising in celestial mechanics. In this method an additional term, the observer, is added to the vector field defining the system in order to stabilize first integrals of the system. This approach is applied to various first integrals of the Kepler problem, of the system of Célérier and of two systems describing satellite motions. The main part of the article are error plots demonstrating the improved preservation of the first integrals. Remark: The observer method is just a special case of common stabilization techniques for differential algebraic equations. A detailed discussion can be found e.g.\ in \textit{U.~Ascher} et al. [Stabilization of DAEs and invariant manifolds, Numer. Math. 67, 131--149 (1994; Zbl 0791.65051)] and in references therein. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0845.00056].
