Abstract

The reconstruction of the Photographic Zenith Tube (PZT) at Ondřejov has been finished recently. The main improvement of the instrument consists in the replacement of the photographic plate with the CCD chip, and a completely new electronic control system. In addition to the astrometric use of the observations we intend to derive the variations of the local vertical and compare them with gravimetric observations of the nearby station Pecný.
