The FONAC catalogue as a result of the FON project
The technique for constructing the first version of the astrographic catalogue FONAC 1.0 based on the measurements of the FON project plates (the Golosiiv overlapping the northern sky) and the Astrographic Catalogue (Carte du Ciel) data is described briefly. The procedure of plate measurements with the PARSEC measuring machine as well as the methods of their reduction are considered. The results of comparing the FONAC 1.0 with other astrometric catalogues as well as description of the second version of the catalogue FONAC 2.0 are given. Value of the FONAC catalogue series on a background of the Post-Hipparcos astrometry is discussed
Project of the network for occultation phenomena television observations
The project aimed at the equipment of observational stations of the existing network by the analogous television devices is proposed. Possibilities of a new observation program using the method of occultations for studying the kinematics of multiple star systems, Solar System small bodies, as well as figure of the marginal zone of the Moon are considered
