Scientific paper

Two dense extragalactic reference frames produced with independent data and analysis are compared. The relative orientations between the directions of the axes of the two frames are determined, as are possible regional deformations between them after removing the relative global rotations. The two extragalactic celestial reference frames have their directions of axes consistent within 0.0015 arcsec; systematic regional position biases are found that do not exceed 0.002 arcsec. Possible causes for these regional inconsistencies are suggested.
