An automated astronomical television system (AATS) designed for recording and determining the coordinates of moving celestial bodies is described. The system employs an AZT-8 telescope, television equipment, a TV signal coding and input system for the computer, an M-220 M computer, and a high-precision timer. AATS' role includes (1) accounting for geometrical distortions, (2) identification of stars, (3) calculation of coordinates and brightness determination, and (4) selection of stars. Results of the computer's filtering and selection programs can be outputted onto a digital information visual display unit for monitoring the results of the television signal processing in the computer. The primary performance criterion of the AATS is measurement accuracy and in order to reduce systematic errors, the AATS is calibrated by means of a calibration test pattern projected onto the entrance of the telescope. The test results are presented.
