The relativistic effects in positioning of distant objects at microarcsecond level are studied. The main points are: statistics of random variations of the image position of a distant radiation source due to the gravitational field of moving stars, motion of the image due to individual invisible gravitators, and possibilities to obtain information on their masses and velocities. The gravitators shifting the object image may be stars of our Galaxy or of a lensing galaxy.
