Comments.
The center of mass of satellite images is defined in condition
that the sum of X coorditates of all satellites which are present
on the picture is equal to zero. And similary for Y coordinates.
Note that two pictures contain on 5 satellites and
five pictures contain on 4 satellites.
The Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) and USNO-B1.0
were used as reference catalogues.
The DE405 (Standish 1998) and INPOP (Fienga et al. 2008) planetary theories
and the GUST86 (Laskar & Jacobson 1987) and GUST06 (Emelyanov et al. 2006)
satellite theories were applied to compute the O-C (see article).
The satellites' positions obtained with respect to 2MASS are
in better agreement with theories than the coordinates of the
satellites determined with respect to USNO-B1.0.
