229 CCD positions of Nereid taken between 1993 and 1998 are presented. Many
of the observations were taken near the periapsis. Considering also the ot
her published positions we have a good distribution of the observations on
the eccentric orbit of the satellite. Using a numeric integration method we
fitted all these observations in order to determine one state vector for t
he orbit. The observed minus calculated standard deviation for all observat
ions is 0".23, and for our observations it is 0".16.
