Abstract We present a computer assisted proof of the full listing of central configurations for spatial n-body problem for n = 5 and 6, with equal masses. For each central configuration, we give a full list of its Euclidean symmetries. For all masses sufficiently close to the equal masses case, we give an exact count of configurations in the planar case for n = 4, 5, 6, 7 and in the spatial case for n = 4, 5, 6.
