updating SDSS from VizieR
ucac3temp Aug 31, 2009
That reminds me, I noticed from Clay Sherrod's download.txt that it was still set for SDSS data release 5. Both it and 6 have now been "obsoleted", albeit still accessible, as VizieR now carries data release 7, and the format is thankfully unchanged. Probably depends which upgrade version of Guide you're using as to what version of SDSS is being accessed.
BUT it does cover a far large extent of sky does data release 7, including Segue areas I believe.
So, backup download.txt and simply change part of the SDSS bit in download.txt with this text
-cII/294/sdss7
because basically all that changed was the catalogue subdirectory/folder numbers. You can leave everything else alone, you're just modifying the url pointed to. Menues may still say 5 (or 6) instead of 7, but data downloaded should be 7 and the TDF should work as format hasn't changed.
However, test it to see and if the TDF is garbled leave it and replace the new download.txt with your backup file.
