STAR example

STAR Example 1. Command line catalog search

Here is a simple search of the SAO catalog for stars in a square 1 degree on a side around 10 hours right ascension, +10 degrees declination. The parameter file is in rsao.par.

$ > rsao -nm 10:00 10:00 -box 0:30
SAOra B1950 Equatorial Coordinates  Magnitude  run  6/13/1995

Here is the same search in the PPM catalog (rppm.par):
