The fundamental reference of the Earth rotation observation by the method of optical astrometry, such as VZT, PZT, astrolabe, transit instrument and so on, relies upon the stellar system. Hence the stellar positions and proper motions, and the celestial reference coordinate system are essential to preserve the system of the Earth orientation parameters determined by the optical astrometry.
