Rigorous Block-Adjustment Of The CPC2 Cape Zone

Abstract

A preliminary classical plate adjustment (CPA) of the Cape zone (−40° ⩾δ⩾ −52°) of the Second Cape Photographic Catalogue (CPC2) has already been published (Nicholson et al 1984). A status report of the whole CPC2 project which provides a fourfold overlap of the entire southern hemisphere on 5820 plates with two exposures each, has been given elsewhere at this symposium (de Vegt et al 1987).
