Comparison of Two Programs for the Determination of the Corrections of the Micrometer Screw Value of the Belgrade Zenith Telescope


M. Djokić




Two programs for the determination of the correction of the micrometer screw value of the Belgrade zenith telescope are compared. One is based on the Washington zenith star catalog the other is developed by the Shternberg Astronomical Institute in Moscow. The results of three years' observation showed that the two applied programs were equally accurate. They also showed that the systematic difference between $\Delta$ R corrections under the two programs may be attributed to the different declination systems.
