Abstract

Observing programs are discussed for the Pulkovo automatic horizontal meridian circle. The instrument is highly efficient and yields precise and accurate positions. We prepare an observing program of faint FK5 stars with the aim of improving on the system of this catalogue and also prepare a program of observations of IRS reference catalogue stars.
