“…Surely, these parameters influence the determination of the declination (flexure) and right ascension (collimation). The Table 1 shows horizontal flexure and collimation and their variations with temperature (Gumerov el al., 1986;Yoshizawa, 1986;Morrison et al, 1990;Kirian el al., 1993;Li Zhigang, 1993;Pinigin et al, 1994). It can see that values of these parameters for the standard MCs are much larger then for the MC of horizontal design (HMC).…”

The ground-based modem meridian circles are discussed from the perspectives of the tremendous achievements i n astrometry. A method of CCD star position determination by short strips isproposed. An observing programme of 12-14 stars around the extragalactic radiosources for the connection of the optical/radio reference frame using the Mykolayiv Axial meridian circle (AMC) and Danish-Chinese meridian telescope (DCMT) is described.

“…Observations with the FASTT have shown that the use of CCD meridian circles is especially efficient for large astrometric surveys. Later, CCD micrometers were mounted on the CAMC (Smart et al 1999), Valinhos meridian circle in Brazil (Lopes et al 1999), Mykolaiv AMC (Pinigin et al 1995), Bordeaux MC (Viateau et al 1999) and elsewhere. In Kyiv, a new CCD micrometer was mounted on the MAC in February 2000.…”

Abstract. The present status of the Kyiv meridian axial circle after its refurbishment is described. The mounting of a new micrometer with the front-illuminated CCD 1040×1160 allows to observe stars up to V = 16 mag. For the stars of 11-14 mag, the internal positional accuracy of a single observation is 0.05-0.10 , and stellar V values are determined with an accuracy of 0.03-0.06 mag. The project of observations of star fields in the direction of 209 extragalactic radio-sources in declination zone 0+30 • is now in progress. The catalogue of positions, magnitudes and proper motions of secondary reference stars in regions with ICRF sources is expected to be compiled by 2003. Another project under way is a long-term astrometric survey of the equatorial zone to extend the Hipparcos-Tycho frame to fainter stars, and to measure their magnitudes and V − R colours.
