We present a method to obtain the reference system for isolated observations of faint satellites made with CCD1. The method consists in the construction of a secondary catalogue of faint stars using ‘The Digitized Sky Survey’ and ‘The Guide Star Catalogue’ corrected by modern astrometric catalogues.
