Abstract: We have observed precise astrometric positions of the faint outer satellites of Jupiter J6-J12 with the Kiso 1.05 m Schmidt telescope. The observational period is from 1990 November through 1992 March. We discuss the postfit residuals after orbital improvement for our 1986-1990 observations and thereby emphasize the superiority of the intersatellite measures available only from wide-field Schmidt observations, which can cover all the satellites in a single plate.
