Astrometric positions of the first eight Saturnian satellites
obtained from 138 photographic plates taken in 30 nights in the years 1982
to 1988 are presented. All positions are compared with those calculated by
the theory TASS1.7 (Vienne & Duriez
1998). The observed minus calculated residuals
give rise to standard deviations smaller than 0
3.
