Abstract

AbstractWe present results of CCD observations for 85 quasars with −80° ≤ δ ≤ +20° declination, belonging to the International Celestial Reference System (ICRS). The positions are referred to the Carlsberg Series (CAMC) and PPM catalogues. We discuss a method which allows one to obtain precise positions based only on CCD observations, on the use of the Digitized Sky Survey of ST ScI and on the Guide Star Catalogue. The results are compared with the VLBI positions.
