Photographic observations of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter have been made in Pulkovo with 26-inch refractor during two periods 1976–1981 and 1986–1993. The internal mean square errors of jovicentric coordinates and mutual distances is equal to 0.10 arcsec. The external errors are equal to 0.08 and 0.17 arcsec in AR and Decl. The systematic errors were analysed. The errors of the theory G-5 of J.E. Arlot do not exceed 0.1 arcsec.
