The principal peculiarities and technical possibilities of the Mykolayiv automatic Axial Meridian Circle (AMC) permit to use it efficiently for the maintenance and densification of the Hipparcos and Tycho catalogues, for increasing of the linking accuracy between the Hipparcos and ICRF reference frames. From 1996 the observation of 12-14 magnitude secondary reference stars from the GSC in the fields around the 400 extragalactic radiosources for declination zone from +90 deg to -20 deg were started with the AMC. The positions of primary reference stars were selected from the Hipparcos Catalogue. Additionally, it is observed the Tycho stars in the selected fields. The observations are carried out by CCD method of short strips. At present, observations of about 2060 strips around 209 ERS with 65000 stars from the GSC and Tycho, and 3100 strips with the Hipparcos stars. The observation and current reduction are followed. It needs about three observation years for efficient accuracy of about 0.02 arcsec.
