The Cape photographic amd meridian programs
Abstract
An outline is given of the two positional programs it is intended to carry out at the Cape Observatory during the next ten years. The first is confined to observations of standard stars while the second seeks to extend the KSZ program to the south pole. The number of observations that can usefully be made of any individual star is discussed and the desirability of supplementing the visual meridian observations by special photographs is pointed out.
