Description
The catalogue contains accurate equatorial coordinates for stars in several bands of sky against which cameras of Voyager spacecraft were pointed for observations in the regions of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune during the flyby. This catalogue is compiled by combining the four reference star catalogues for Voyager mission: Uranus-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue <I/115> Klemola A.R., Owen Jr. W.M. <Lick Obs., Jet Propulsion Lab. (1985)> Neptune-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue <I/140> Klemola A.R., Owen Jr. W.M. <Lick Obs., Jet Propulsion Lab. (1986)> Jupiter-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue <I/152> Klemola A.R., Morabito L., Taraji H. <Lick Obs. (1978)> (Corrections by Owen Jr. W.M., 1990) Saturn-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue <I/153> Klemola A.R., Taraji H., Ocampo A. <Lick Obs. (1979)> (Corrections by Owen Jr. W.M., 1990) Note however that the corrections applied in 1990 to the last two catalogue Jupiter-Voyager and Saturn-Voyager are not incorporated here.
