I see that Al is the sole Developer on the FSF pages. Is there full
documentation for Astro::Catalog? (-:
The beautiful eStar web site tells me that there will be support added
for other formats "such as STL, FITS binary tables, ASCII_HEAD...
should be available shortly". It's dated over a year ago. What's the
state now? I ask in part because I should change the ORAC-DR
photometric-standard table access to use Astro::Catalog.
What I actually would like is to have a web service (not a CGI) that
looks up the magnitude from the various catalogues, starting with UKIRT,
then others like Persson, 2MASS, the selection depending on the filter.
