Vieira ; Andrei, A. H. ; Veiga, C. H. Abstract We present results from CCD observations made at the 1.60m Telescope of the Laboratorio Nacional de Astrofisica, Itajuba, Brazil, for 85 extragalactic radiosources uniformly distributed over -80(o) <= delta <= +20(o) declination, from the IAU list of objects scheduled to define the International Celestial Reference System (ICRS). The positions are referred to the Carlsberg Series (CAMC), PPM and ACRS catalogues. They were derived by using a method which allows obtaining precise positions based on corrected positions from the Guide Star Catalogue. A set of 60 fiducial sources was selected by means of their positional arc length differences, to link and compare the optical results and the VLBI radiosource positions. Relative orientation angles between the optical and radio frames were found within 0".02 precision. Comparison of positions on both frames for all radiosources has shown a dispersion of 0".2, consistent with the errors in the reference catalogues used.
