Where can I get listings of catalogs available on the ADCs Selected Astronomical Catalogs CD-ROMs?
The listings of catalogs available on the Selected Astronomical Catalogs CD-ROMs are contained in the Volume 1 Contents, Volume 2 Contents, Volume 3 Contents, Volume 4 Contents listings. • Why can’t I read the ADC’s Selected Astronomical Catalogs Volume 1 CD-ROM in PC Windows? The ADC provides software to read the Selected Astronomical Catalogs ASCII CD-ROM in PC Windows. The Aurora Editor, which will edit up to 1GB size files, is very useful for the larger ADC catalogs which often do not fit into common editors. Aurora works under DOS and Windows and is shareware. The Aurora Editor is available via anonymous ftp from adc.astro.umd.edu in pub/adc/software/windows/aurora directory. Or you can use the FITS Table Browser from your DOS prompt to read the FITS tables. (Both the ASCII CD-ROM and the FITS CD-ROM, which comprise Volume 1, contain exactly the same information, just in different formats.) The FITS Table Browser is available via anonymous ftp from adc.astro.umd.edu in the /pub/ad
