Positions of galactic X-ray sources - Galactic longitude between 20 and 55 degPrecise positions, determined with data from the SAS-3 X-ray observatory, are presented for eight galactic plane X-ray sources (Aql X-1, Ser X-1, 3U 1956+11, 3U 1822-00, 3U 1915-05, A 1845-02, A 1850-08, A 1905+00). Error radii for the positions range from 20 to 50 arc s. Previously proposed optical identifications of three of the sources (Ser X-1, 3U 1956+11, A 1850-08) are supported by these results. Three (Ser X-1, A 1905+00, 3U 1915-05) have been identified as X-ray burst sources.
