Abstract: Astrometric observations of Triton are given for the oppositions of Neptune on 1995, 1996 and two nights in 1997. In this period, 759 frames were obtained during 35 nights at the Cassegrain focus of the 1.6 m and the 0.6 m reflectors of the LNA-Brazil. The comparison with calculated positions gives residuals with standard deviation of the order of 0.09'. Table 1 is only available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg (130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html. Based on observations made at Laborat\'orio Nacional de Astrofisica/CNPq/MCT-Itajub\'a-Brazil. Please Send offprint requests to C.H. Veiga.
