Protsyuk Y. Theoretical and methodical bases of observation and their processing on automatic meridian telescope of horizontal type

The dissertation presents a theoretical and methodical bases of positional observation and their processing on automatic meridian telescope of horizontal type of the Mykolayiv astronomical observatory by observation and their processing in an automatic mode. The highly technological process which includes the automated preparation for observation and processing of the input data, completely automatic realisation of observation of celestial objects, precision and productive processing of the received observation from basic processing to reception of the differential catalogues of observed objects was developed and introduced. During 169 nights by help of the program complex more than 120000 observation of stars was carried out. The use of the techniques, algorithms and programs, developed in the dissertation, are ensured efficiency of functioning of all complex, allowed to receive the homogeneous observed data, carried their processing and obtain the catalogue of direct ascensions and declinations of finally 14403 stars (11-14.5 stellar magnitudes) from the list USNO-A2.0 around 190 extragalactic radiosources (AMC1B).
