Fifteen astrometric positions of planet Pluto in the FK-4 system, determined from plates obtained with the (45/77/150) cm Schmidt telescope of the Copenhagen University Observatory, Brorfelde, in the years 1975, 1977 and 1978, are presented. Analysis of the observations indicates an external mean error of approximately 0.2 arcsec and systematic errors probably not greater than 0.1 arcsec. The final geocentric positions, and a comparison of these positions with the ephemeris of Kaplan et al. (1972), are given.
