Abstract
Positions of Uranian satellites from 333 photographic plates obtained at the Cassegrain focus of a 1.6 m reflector are given for the opposit ions of 1983 through 1988. These positions were reduced using photomet ric methods and compared with those calculated theoretically calculate d from GUST86. The observed minus calculated residuals referred to Obe ron, have standard deviations of the order of 0''.04 for the four grea test Uranian satellites and 0''.09 for Miranda, These residuals for th e four satellites are better than the most precise found in the litera ture.
