The U.S. Naval Observatory SA2.0 is a catalog of 55,368,239 sources intended
to provide a grid of astrometric reference objects over the whole sky.
It is a spatially sub-sampled version of
USNO-A2.0 Catalog
and provides an astrometric reference catalog for asteroid hunters and
other folks who do not need all of that 11-CDROM, 526,280,881-source catalog.
The format is the same as USNO-A2.0.
