It's available on magnetic tape and contains information on over 250,000 stars down to about the 15 magnitude or so. It's got more information on each star than you will ever need. Another good astro database is the BOSS catalog, which is also available on tape. I don't know much about this one but I'm sure someone like Debbie Byrd could tell you more. -- Steve M. Gilbreath.
