My copy of UCAC3 arrived on Tuesday.

Now to start working on getting it to work with my favourite software.
I should be able to redistribute the data to interested parties. It arrived on a double sided DVD, and I have yet to see the total file size.
The author of Cartes du Ciel has imported the data into a format that works with his software. That catalog is available here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/skyc...s/Stars/UCAC3/ (more info on his conversion here:
http://www.ap-i.net/skychart/en/news/ucac3_catalog )
His version works out to just over 2GB including indexes.
Regards,
Eric
