The first terms of the general solution for an asymptotically flat stationaryaxisymmetric vacuum spacetime endowed with an equatorial symmetry plane arecalculated from the corresponding Ernst potential up to seventh order in theradial pseudospherical coordinate. The metric is used to determine theinfluence of high order multipoles in the perihelion precession of anequatorial orbit and in the node line precession of a non-equatorial orbit withrespect to a geodesic circle. Both results are written in terms of invariantquantities such as the Geroch-Hansen multipoles and the energy and angularmomentum of the orbit.Comment: 23 pages, LaTeX2
