Guide Star Finder
This form enable search some catalogues finalized to locate guide stars for adaptive optics applications.
Warning: the list of sources has a STRICT format: Source_name HH:MM:SS DD:MM:SS
The source names can be up to 12 characters long and can contain only
alphanumeric characters and underscore. NO spaces, '\+-.,: ecc.
The coordinates must contain all digits and separators (HH:MM:SS [-]DD:MM:SS).

-
We use the US Naval Observatory USNO-SA2.0 catalog
For catalogue acces we use Doug Mink's fine scat program. - Notes:
- Unless explicitly specified, we use R-band magnitudes.
- For multiple queries the format is very strict
- The "selection criteria" option changes the star selection strategy:
- Nearest gives the nearest star only
- Brightest gives the brightest star
- Weighted gives the star with the highest value of a score proportional to the inverse of the distance and to the magnitude (nearer and brighter => better).
