Abstract
The CCD meridian circle of San Fernando (CMASF) is installed in the Carlos U. Cesco observatory in San Juan (Argentina) at 69° W, 31° S and 2300 m of altitude. It is operated jointly by the Real Instituto y Observatorio de la Armada (ROA) and the Observatorio Astronómico Félix Aguilar (OAFA). In December 1999, a CCD camera was installed in the instrument. Since then, the sky band with declinations between +3° and -55° has been observed in order to publish a catalogue of positions and magnitudes of the stars brighter than V=16. In this paper, the first results of a preliminar catalogue with the stars in the band +3° to -15° are shown.
