List of Observatory Codes assigned by the Minor Planet Center (MPC).
The codes are used in cataloguing astrometric observations of small
bodies in the solar system. A code is unique for a certain location
and consists of three digits or one letter and two digits.
In this representation, we give the observatory code, the geocentric
coordinates, and the observatory designation.
This table contains the metadata for the plates that went into USNO-B
1.0 as best as we can reconstruct it (i.e., largely those that also
make up the Digital Sky Survey DSS). Most of the source files were
obtained from http://www.nofs.navy.mil/data/fchpix/, some additional
contributions came from Dave Monet.
