Extract
Positional observations of the Sun have become, in recent years, one of the most important contribution of astrolabes to fundamental astrometry. After pioneer observations at CERGA and Sao Paulo, both in 1974, other astrolabes have been adapted for observations of the Sun in Paris (now at Malatya, Turkey), Santiago de Chile (Chollet & Noël 1993) and San-Fernando (Sánchez et al. 1993, 1995). First experimental campaign of solar observations with an astrolabe installed at Simeiz Observatory (Crimea, Ukraine) has been undertaken in 1986 (Kolesnik 1987). After some instrumental improvements, observations covering about 2.5–3 months were continued in 1987, 1990, 1991. The results are reported here.
