Saguaro Astronomy Club databases for download

[stevecoe]

Howdy all;

I wanted to provide a link to the data which the members of the Saguaro Astronomy Club (SAC) have entered over the years and are free for the downloading.  There are data on 10,000 deep sky objects, double stars, red stars, asterisms and more.  They include versions in plain text so that virtually any computer system can use them.  I also made Excel and comma delimted files.

Thanks for posting - I used a previous version of this in the late 1980's to write an Astronomy program called "Cassini" for the Commodore Amiga

thanks very much for sharing it here on SGL!

A lot of targets for years ahead.. actually a life!

Piero, et al;

Yes, myself and the other club members who assembled the data all said "OK, this all I need".  I have rarely come up against deep sky objects that are within the grasp of a telescope I own that are not included in the database.

Clear skies;
