Scientific paper

We have measured 249 positions of the major satellites of Saturn from observations which were made with a CCD detector on the Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope on La Palma between July 4 and 11, 1991. Analysis of these observations show that the accuracy of intersatellite positions of Tethys, Dione, Rhea, and Titan is 0.10 arcsec. This corresponds to approximately 651 km at the distance of Saturn. These observations are comparable in quality to the best photographic observations.
