Does anyone know of an on-line database or book-form catalogue of
stars down to about 5th magnitude, or (preferably) fainter?
Data should include position (1950 or 2000 - as long as I know which),
magnitude, color (type), size, and distance.

I seem to recall hearing about a database created by the Air Force
with just this sort of info in it.
On another tack, might the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington have
this sort of thing?

Thanks for any help.

While I'm at it, and, like others, received unfriendly electronic diagnostics
about nonexistent mail paths to Austin,

Congratulations to Debbie Byrd and her team at the University of Texas
Astronomy Dept., Austin, - Please keep your programs coming - they're GRRRREAT!
