Astrometric positions of the Neptunian Satellite Triton are
given for
the opposition of Neptune for the years 1989 to 1994. These positions
where measured on 433 CCD frames obtained at the Cassegrain focus of a
1.6 m reflector. They are compared with theoretical positions calculated
from Jacobson et al. (1991). The observed minus calculated residuals
referred to Neptune have standard deviations of the order of 011.
