Scientific paper

This paper serves as a practical review of astrometry for the non-specialist. It presents a step-by-step guide to the origin of various precession, nutation and aberration terms and the application of those terms to astrometrical data. Detailed examples are worked out applying the formalism to sample calculations of mean, true and apparent positions. Also included is a brief discussion of the new (1976) set of constants which will replace the present system when the new fundamental astrometrical reference system, the FK5, is introduced.
