It means that USNO-B loading is possible with an older version of CdC ? (older than v2.76 ?) I think no, but can you confirm ?

A2.0 was distributed on a set of CDs. For B1 you have to send them a harddrive (it's 80GB!). This was done at the taxpayer's expense, so it was really only meant for people with a serious use for it. But of course you can use the "online resources" to get individual star fields of A2 from ESO SkyCat (presumably at European taxpayers expense, but downloads are much cheaper than CDs). > > For negative declinations, you can get A2 or B1 from the Vizier online source, but as has been mentioned several times recently, it no longer works in CdC v2.76 at positive dec, due to a change at Vizier. > > -John > > > > > > > _____________________________________________________________________ _______________ > Be a better friend, newshound, and > know-it-all with Yahoo!
