The results, in the FK5(J2000) system, are presented in Table 1 (click here). The first column gives the IAU designation of the sources, the second and fourth columns the resulting optical positions and the third and fifth columns their corresponding total internal errors. Finally, Col. (6) gives the epochs of the observations.
The errors of the measurements were determined as described in Sect. 4.2 of Paper I. The total internal errors of the positions presented in Table 1 (click here) were determined using the same relations given in Sect. 4.1 of Paper I. The total error contributed by the IRS catalogue was estimated on a zonal basis, as explained in Paper II.
