Description:
   On the basis of the data observed with the photoelectric astrolabe
   Mark II(PA II) of Beijing  Astronomical Observatory in San Juan of
   Argentina from Feb. 23, 1992 to Feb. 28, 1995, residuals of 7200 stars
   are reduced according to about 230000 observations of stars. The mean
   precision of the residuals is +/-0.046". Using the data, the first
   catalogue of stars (CPASJ1) have been compiled. There are 2980 stars
   in this catalogue included 989 FK5/FK4Supp stars, 658 FK5Ext stars,
   387 SRS stars, 687 CAMC4 stars, 192 GC stars, and 72 Hipparcos stars.
   The mean precisions are +/-3.2ms and +/-0.061" in right ascensions and
   declinations, respectively. The magnitudes of stars are from 2mag to
   11.3mag. The declinations are from -3deg to -60deg. The mean epoch is
   1993.6. Finally, systematic corrections of(CPASJ1-FK5) are given.
