The goal of the present study is

  1. (1) Completion of a general reduction of the Carte du Ciel astrophotographic catalogs, measurement of the positions in them on modern astronegatives, derivation of proper motions and compilation of a catalog of stars to magnitude 12.5.

  2. (2) Copying the data of all 272 volumes of astrophotographic catalogues onto magnetic tapes (all together 8.5 million measurements).

  3. (3) Measurement of modern astronegatives on FON-OBZOR-S and FOKAT-Y programs.

  4. (4) Studies of the magnitude equation of the AGK3 catalog and other catalogs which will be presumably used as reference catalogs.

  5. (5) Development and comparative studies of several methods of determination of equatorial coordinates on the basis of full information on astronegative measurements. Application of these methods to compilation of the catalog of 4 million stars.
