I plan to use the Sourceforge mirror network for that. This is directly related to open source software use and not worst than the many boot CD you can get there. >I asked for the UCAC3 catalog so I could write a conversion >program and catgen file for CdC.

Sure, all the tools to build the catalog are also open source. Last year I add to the Sourceforge repository all the tools I use to build the old catalog, including UCAC2: http://skychart.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/skychart/trunk/tools/cat/ Patrick
