The astonomical consequences of recently developed theoretical methods of relativistic astrometry are discussed. The set of practically important reference systems is described. These reference systems generalize the locally inertial frames of general relativistic test observer, the hierarchy of Jacoby coordinates for dynamical problems and the dynamically inertial reference systems of fundamental astrometry. In practical application of this formalism much attention is paid for relativistic transformation functions relating the ∗∗ecliptical coordinates corresponding to the baryecnters of the Solar system, the Earth-Moon subsystem and the Earth. Solutions to several kinds of relativistic precession are also presented.
