Popis: A compiled catalogue of 21 440 stars with magnitudes between 10 and 17 is prepared from original observations made at the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century. The catalogue contains 227 fields of the celestial sphere centered at ICRF extragalactic radio sources with declinations of −17 to +89°. The field size is 40′ for both right ascension and declination. The internal accuracy of positions for both coordinates is no worse than 0.1″. A comparison of the stellar positions with the UCAC2 and CMC13 catalogues shows that the average external accuracy is approximately 0.05–0.15″. The positions of 10 795 stars with declinations to +50° are given for the epoch and equinox of J2000.0, whereas the positions of other stars are given for the epoch of observation.
