Abstract
Summed many years of work at Pulkovo, the orbits of 67 wide pairs of visual double and multiple stars (included in 64 systems) which were obtained by the Apparent Motion Parameters (AMP) method are presented. This short arc orbit determination method uses the most reliable astrometric and astrophysical data corresponding to one instant of time. The rest of the observations accumulated in the world serve to control the quality of the orbit and refine some parameters. All early determined AMP-orbits were compared with new observations, part of them recalculated, new orbits added. For the stars of Pulkovo program of observations with a 26-inch refractor, the data from the Gaia DR2 catalog were analised. The orbits of 16 stars were calculated on these data. The direction of the motion derived from Gaia DR2 at the instant 2015.5 contradicts to the series of all observations for 20 stars. The probable reason is in the presence of inner subsystems. The orientation of the obtained orbits in the Galaxy frame is also given.
