The orientation (relative to the quasi-dynamical system) of the selenodetic coordinate system realized by the Consolidated Catalog of 4900 basic points on the lunar surface was determined using measurements of 158 photographic plates of the moon against a stellar background. Observations were made with the double astrograph (D = 40 cm, F = 5.5 m) of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. The angles of rotation of the catalog system with respect to the quasi-dynamical system about three specified axes were determined from measurements of 80 craters on the plates.
