Arizona-Tonantzintla Catalogue

This catalogue was published in the July 1965 issue of Sky&Telescope, page 24, 8 pages.
My collection of S&T is unfortunately back in Australia and I need a copy of this catalogue. It has UBV info on 1325 bright stars
Can anyone help with scanned pages???

The S&T archives don't have a copy available either!!
No one out there with access to a July 1965 S&T.........???????????

Dunno - I'm too young to have a 1965 copy of S&T, but if what you are looking for is 'UBV Photometry of Bright Stars' (Johnson H.L., Mitchell R.I., Iriarte B., and Wisniewski W.Z.), you may want to follow this link:

The file 'data.dat' may contain what you are after.

Here is the data.dat file in Excel format with labels - if you filter it by Vmag around 4.9 you may find what you need.

Karlsson,
I really appreciate the time and effort to prepare the data for me.
It does look like the A-T catalogue in the S&T may have been early data, compiled into this final listing.
Once again, many thanks. I hope some of the others will get use of the data also.
