Note: The construction of the GSC-II is still in progress: this version has no proper motions, and the magnitude limits are 18.5 in F (red) and 19.5 in J (blue). The data are copyrighted, check the data use Policy.
Note: The USNO-B Catalog presents positions, proper motions, magnitudes un blue, red and infrared, as well as star/galaxy estimators for 1,045,175,762 objects derived from 3,648,832,040 separate observations. The data were taken from scans of 7,435 Schmidt plates taken from various sky surveys during the last 50 years. USNO-B1.0 catalog was created by Dave Monet and collaborators at http://www.nofs.navy.mil/data/fchpix/ Note that the star/galaxy estimators may be mixed up in dense regions.
Note: The Naval Observatory Merged Astrometric Dataset (NOMAD) contains astrometric and photometric data for over 1 billion stars derived from the Hipparcos (I/239), Tycho-2 (I/259), UCAC2 (I/289), and USNO-B1.0 (I/284) catalogs for astrometry and optical photometry, supplemented by 2MASS (II/246) near-infrared photometry. An efficient remote query program findnomad1 is available in the cdsclient package, for Unix/Linux platforms
Note: Zone -30/+50deg
Note: This version of the GSC-II has no proper motions, but the limits on brightness which existed on GSC2.2 (F<18.5, Bj<19.5) were removed.
Note: see the UCAC4 document, and the the fix for high proper motion stars. The UCAC home page is available at http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astrometry/optical-IR-prod/ucac. Please acknowledge the usage of the UCAC4
