Abstract

At the Carlsberg Automatic Meridian Circle on La Palma an observing programme of 72500 stars is in progress. The observing conditions are discussed and a status report is presented as well as some plans for future programmes. A special effort is made for stars between vis. mag. 11 .m 0 and 12 .m 0 in a general net as well as in radio source fields. Some of these sources will be observed with the Danish 1.5m telescope on La Silla. Also discussed are fundamental programmes and large astrophysical programmes.
