Abstract

Based on an analysis of the coordinate information obtained from positional observations of stars with an irreversible cine-theodolite (KT-50), we have developed an algorithm and investigated this instrument. We have determined the parameters characterizing the coordinate system of KT-50: zero points of the azimuth and altitude scales, collimation, inclination of the horizontal axis, inclination of the vertical axis, and its azimuth. An algorithm for calculating the azimuth and altitude corrections has been developed by processing the frames of CCD observations.
