   <Observations of positions of stars and planets
    from 1991Jan to 1992Aug (1993)>

ADC_Keywords: Meridian observations ; Positional data ; Proper motions

Description:
    The Carlsberg Meridian Catalogues give accurate positions, proper
    motions and magnitudes of stars north of declination -45deg and down
    to 15th magnitude. They also contain observations of the solar system
    objects: Mars, Callisto, Saturn, Titan, Iapetus, Uranus, Neptune,
    Pluto, and many minor planets. Typical mean errors for an entry are
    0.1arcsec in position, 3mas/yr in proper motion, and 0.05mag in
    magnitude. The stars observed belong to a large number of observing
    programmes typically dealing with the reference frame or with galactic
    kinematics.

    The Carlsberg Automatic Meridian Circle on La Palma is operated by
    Copenhagen University Observatory, Royal Greenwich Observatory, and
    Real Instituto y Observatorio de la Armada at the Observatory del
    Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias.

    For a detailed introduction, please refer to the printed catalogue.
    A description of the programme may also be found in the 1993 paper
    by Fabricius (=1993BICDS..42....5F), from which the present
    description is derived.

    Originally the CMC7 was planned to contain only observations from
    1991. The actual CMC7 comprises nearly 20 month (January 1991 to
    August 1992) and is thus more extensive than foreseen when a
    description was published in Bull. CDS (=1993BICDS..42....5F)
