The measurements of AGK3 stars carried out with the automated measuring machine MAMA in Paris were used for the estimation of the accuracy of stellar positions on Tautenburg and CERGA plates. The results show good coincidence of stellar positions derived with both Schmidt telescopes. The achieved accuracy is high enough to use combined observations for improving present positions in the catalog AGK3.
