Title: Astrometric Observations of the Faint Outer Satellites of Jupiter During the 1994 and 1995 Oppositions
Abstract: We present astrometric positions for the faint outer satellites of Jupiter VI-XIII during the 1994 and 1995 oppositions. These positions have been obtained from measurements of photographic plates taken with the 2.1 m Otto Struve reflector and from wide field CCD frames taken with the 0.76 m reflector. Both telescopes are located at McDonald Observatory. The new CCD-based instrumentation and astrometric reduction system is described.
