Abstract
A catalogue of positions and V magnitudes of stars down to 17m in the declination zone from 0 to +2° is compiled. The catalogue contains 1.09 × 106 stars and is based on observations obtained at the meridian axial circle of the Main Astronomical Observatory, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and Astronomical Observatory of Kyiv National University in 2001–2005. The accuracy of positions and photometry is 0.05–0.07′′ and 0.05–0.08m, respectively, for stars of 11–14m.
