Context.We measured the angular separations, position angles, ,
and
of wide visual double stars during the period 2003–2005.
At least one component of the double stars in our sample has an entry
in the Hipparcos catalogue.
Aims. Our measurements are a contribution to the study of the nature of these double stars.
Methods.The northern double stars of the project were observed with the 1.2 m telescope of the Kryonerion observatory and the southern with the 1.0 m SAAO. We performed multiple-exposure CCD imaging of our targets and used the standard procedure of data reduction and astrometric CCD calibrations.
Results.We present measurements of 213 northern and 219 southern wide binaries.
Key words: stars: binaries: visual / astrometry
