The handling and uses of the SAO catalog
Abstract
The complete and rigorous update procedures applied to the 195.0 epoch SAO Catalog are described. The corrections included are the terms of elliptic aberration, precession, proper motion, and foreshortening e.g., parallax and radial velocity terms. The uses of the updated catalog are schematically described for the local reduction of artificial satellite positions. Finally, an annotated FORTRAN program is included.
