A series of photographic positional observations of the moon was used to determine the orientation of the selenodetic coordinate system in the Consolidated Catalog with respect to 4900 points on the lunar surface. The observations were carried out using the double astrograph of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (D = 40 cm, F = 5.5 m) in the period 1979-1981. Angles of rotation were derived for the coordinates around the axes zeta, eta, and chi, based on the positions of 80 craters in 55 separate images. The results were found to be in good agreement with measurements for the period 1978-1979.
