Up: Continuous declination system set
From the observations of program 1 used from 03 Nov. 1995 to 25 June 1997,
we get corrections in both coordinates for 200 stars. Coverage of declination
is about 65 degrees (from

) with no gap. The results are given
in the appendix, in the order of
declinations from

numbers 9 and 10 are about 2 times worse than the others, which makes mean
residuals M for some stars in the groups 9 and 10 less precise.
