Positional and photometric CCD observations of the comet Shoemaker‐Levy 9 fragments were carried out at the Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory. Up to 15 named fragments were detected and their equatorial coordinates and magnitudes are reported. CCD frames were processed using DAOPHOT II. The internal precision of reference star positions down to 18 m is 0.″7 and the mean error of photometry does not exceed ±0.3 mag.
