The SAO catalog contains general stars. ?There¡¯s a WDS catalog of double stars.

But you can add catalogs.

See: ?
And: ?

You can even build your own catalogs. ?They must be in ¡°.guc¡± format, but the format is fairly simple. ?It¡¯s just a comma-separated-value file where each entry has four values¡­ name, RA, Dec, and Info. ?There is a specific format for the RA & Dec fields. ?RA is 6 digits for HH:MM:SS. ?Dec is also 6 digits but has a sign (+/-) in front, so ¡ÀDD:MM:SS.

Clear Skies,

Using the Hand Controller, is the only way to Go To a dim star (Not Bright Star) to
enter its SAO number?
If so, I guess I need a SAO list .? Maybe a cross reference of SAO and common?name
(Bayer Catalog).
I am visual only and don't take a computer to the viewing site.? Thanks for information.
