Optical positions measured directly on the prints and plates of the Palomar Sky Atlas have been compared with various published lists of precise optical positions. The external comparisons suggest that positional errors ~ ±0″.3 in each coordinate have been achieved. This supports the claimed accuracy and establishes the Sky Atlas as an important astrometric medium for investigating radio-optical associations.
