Abstract

The catalogue of positions and stellar V magnitudes of up to 17m stars in the declination zone from 2° to 5.5° has been compiled. The catalogue includes 2.05 × 106 stars and is based on the observations performed in 2010–2015 on the meridian axial circle (MAC) of GAO NAN Ukraine and the Astronomical Observatory of Taras Shevchenko National University. The errors of the positions and photometry for stars of 11–14 magnitude are 0.06″–0.08″ and 0.04m–0.08m, respectively.
