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 10401160 allows
to observe stars up to
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
colours.
