The San Fernando automatic meridian circle (CMASF) is a meridian telescope built by Grubb-Parsons in 1948 fully automated between 1987 and 1995. In 1996 was moved from the Real Instituto y Observatorio de la Armada (ROA) in San Fernando to the Carlos U. Cesco (CUC) mountain observatory in San Juan (Argentine). The CUC is owned by the Observatorio Astronómico Félix Aguilar (OAFA) of National University of San Juan. In 1999 the telescope was provided with a CCD camera borrowed by the Copenhagen University Observatory (CUO). Between March and October of 2001 a campaign of observations of Pluto, Neptune and its satellite Triton was carried out with the CMASF. They were observed every five days while their transits through the CUC meridian happened during the night. In total 12 transits of Pluto, 15 of Neptune and 16 of Triton were got during that period. In this paper we present the results of the campaign.
