I don't believe USNO B1.0 is even available for download from USNO anymore. One may be able to get it somewhere else. In any case, if one is looking for super accurate plate solves, the latest and greatest database is the Atlas-REFCAT2 which uses data from the ATLAS Pathfinder and PanSTARS and GAIA surveys.

USNO B1.0 is over 80 GBytes, consuming too much bandwidth to download from the USNO website. Unfortunately, that leaves A2.0 as the outdated alternative, so UCAC4 is the better choice now. -Ray > -----Original Message----- > From: main@ap-gto.groups.io [mailto:main@ap-gto.groups.io] On Behalf Of Don Anderson via groups.io > Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2021 2:08 PM > To: main@ap-gto.groups.io > Subject: Re: [ap-gto] More APPM Results -- Can Someone Help Me Understand This? > > USNO-B1.0 has been taken off line by USNO.
