Abstract: The 2.1 m Otto Struve reflector at the McDonald Observatory has been used to determine the astrometric positions of faint outer Jovian satellites VI-XIII during the 1989-1990 opposition. The plates were measured to furnish 65 single-image positions of the satellites; of these, six positions are normal points of two images, and one position of satellite VI is a normal point of three images.
