The details and results of an astrometric test of the Shanghai 1.56-m R-C Cassegrain reflector are briefly discussed. Data for a standard sky region processed with a third-order reduction model show that the positions within plus or minus 14 and 16 arcmin of the center are determined with an accuracy of 0.03 and 0.04 arcsec, respectively. The 1.56 Cassegrain reflector shows small coma and distortion terms in the plate constants. It is concluded that the optical qualities and the mechanical support of the telescope satisfy modern requirements for high accuracy in the astrometry of faint objects.
