On the basis of the observational materials of the photoelectric astrolabe from 1976 to 1977 at Shanghai Observatory, the possible increase improvement in observational precision after adopting the FK5 catalogue is estimated. The calculation proves that the improvements are about 6 per cent and 9 per cent in the right ascension and declination respectively.
