Scientific paper

The quest for the distance of the Vela and Geminga pulsars yielded, so far, a
set of four WFPC2 images for each object. The availability of couples of images
taken at the same period of the year, thus affected by the same parallactic
displacement, prompted us to use Vela and Geminga as test cases to assess the
reliability of HST astrometry.
