Re: [guide-user] VizieR server change of address

Bill J Gray Apr 3, 2008

Hi Doug,

The default VizieR server used by Guide has just had its URL
changed. I'll revise Guide to point to the new address. In the
meantime, there's a reasonably simple fix: edit 'guide.dat' and
cut-and-paste this line into it:

VIZIER=http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR

and restart Guide. You'll again able to get data from VizieR.
Alternatively, you can run Guide and hit Alt-J, and cut-and-paste
the above line into the resulting dialog box. This will have
basically the same effect.

There are a slew of VizieR mirrors, any of which can be used
in the VIZIER= line:

France: http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR
UK: http://apm20.ast.cam.ac.uk/viz-bin/VizieR
Canada: http://vizier.hia.nrc.ca/viz-bin/VizieR
US: http://vizier.cfa.harvard.edu/viz-bin/VizieR
China: http://data.bao.ac.cn/viz-bin/VizieR
Russia: http://vizier.inasan.ru/viz-bin/VizieR
US: http://www.ukirt.jach.hawaii.edu/viz-bin/VizieR
India: http://vizier.iucaa.ernet.in/viz-bin/VizieR
Japan: http://vizier.nao.ac.jp/viz-bin/VizieR
