In 1995, a CCD camera (ST-6) was attached to the 26-inch Pulkovo refractor, with which the systematic observations of binary stars and satellites of major planets were continued simultaneously with their photographic observations. We present the results of our relative-position measurements for the components of 15 binaries and 36 pairs of Saturn's satellites. The required calibration and methodical studies are conducted. We conclude that CCDs can be used to advantage in long-focus astrometry. The measurement accuracy doubled in comparison with the photographic method, the resolution limit decreased to 12, and the limiting magnitude increased by 5 magnitudes.
