Description:
The raw measured pixel coordinates of the major Saturnian satellites
obtained using a CCD camera on the 1.56m reflector at the Sheshan
station during the period 1997-2000. For each CCD frame JD and decimal
fractions of the middle of the exposures are given in universal Time.
Satellite numbers conform to IAU numbering system.
