Abstract
AbstractA complete copy of the compressed COSMOS/UKST Southern Sky Object Catalogue is now available on-line at the Anglo-Australian Observatory and the Australia Telescope National Facility. The catalogue lists image parameters for all objects detected to a limit of BJ ≈ 21·5 in the UK Schmidt Southern Sky Survey. We have written software to access the catalogue efficiently and generate finding charts or text listings of the image parameters. In this paper we describe the software and give some examples of its use. We also discuss the astrometric precision of the catalogue.
