High Mike,

I do have the USNO A2 data, but the B1.0 data are of newer date. I used the
download possibility of GUIDE for my first field, but for a second field it
does not work any more. I have no idea.
I can find out the B1.0 number of stars but it is quite time consuming. Disk
space (and even download capacity) is no longer a problem. I need those
number because I have identified a couple of star which are new variables. I
am writing publications about them and that is the reason to have those
numbers.

If it would work again via Guide, I would be more than happy. Otherwise, I
try to get the full catalog.

Regards,

Josch Hambsch
