a Catalog of Positions and Proper Motions of 258 997 Stars for the Epoch and Equinox of 1950.0 (an Introduction To)
Abstract
All available catalogs of high positional accuracy were used to compile a computer-accessible star catalog that would cover the entire sky. This report describes the preparation and contents of the SAO Star Catalog. Presented in the Catalog are positions and proper motions for about 259,000 stars, with an average distribution of 6 stars per square degree. The Catalog includes the following information for each star: right ascension and declination, standard deviations, mean epochs of the original observations, annual proper motions, visual magnitude, photographic magnitude, spectral type, Durchmusterung number, catalog used as source, and explanatory notes.
