CORRECTIONS OF THE FK5 EQUATOR AND EQUINOX DERIVED FROM OBSERVATION OF
  PLANETS AND THEIR SATELLITES WITH THE PULKOVO PVC IN 1988 - 1994.

33 observations of Mars and 33 ones of Jupiter with Galilean
satellites were obtained with the Pulkovo photographic vertical circle
in 1988-1994 together with observations of declination of the FK5
stars. After a reduction for instrumental errors the observations were
treated for declinations in absolute manner with an adjustment using
the stars. The corrections for the effects of phase and disk details
were applied. The accuracy of one observation is 0.2 arcsec in
declination. The differential right ascensions of Jupiter and Galilean
satellites were obtained also. The correction of the FK5 equator was
derived from the observations with accuracy 0.03 arcsec; the one of
the FK5 equinox is less accurate.
