The relative positions of Hipparcos visual double star components are currently known with a precision around fifty mas. Modern CCD astrometric observations of these objects achieve an accuracy of their angular separation between ten and twenty mas per observation. New CCD measurements have been obtained at Kryonerion Observatory in the north hemisphere. They provide current relative positions of visual double stars which are at least twice as accurate as the ones provided by Hipparcos. The new measurements will permit us to extract the physical pairs from the sample, and the double stars, which have components of common origin. Final statistics of these systems will improve our understanding of stellar formation and evolution rates of wide binaries in the solar neighborhood.
