I'm in the midst of a frustrating period. It started off with two fields fairly close together, with the program thinking that the data for the first field was...

Although the USNO B1 can generally be accessed on the internet I can't think of to many reasons to use it instead of the UCAC2 for any region of the sky...

David, Robin, list, ... Same reasons here for USNO-B1.0 over UCAC-2: 1. Small field on big scopes, typically 6'x6' or so. 2. No faint stars in UCAC-2 (already...
On UCAC2 magnitudes, the ReadMe file states: The UCAC2 magnitude range is about 8 to 16 in a 579-642 nm bandpass. This is between visual (V) and red (R). The...
