ASTROMETRIC

        ASTROMETRIC [RAmin RAmax DECmin DECmax]  [/MAGNITUDE  Mlim]  [/EPOCH
    date] [/OUTPUT File] [/EQUINOX date]

    Searches and plots all astrometric stars of  magnitude  less  than  Mlim
    (brighter than Mlim) in the (RA,DEC) box specified by RAmin RAmax DECmin
    DECmax (if present; otherwise, in the current Greg box provided that the
    coordinate  system  is  equatorial). The current marker type is used and
    the size depends on the current marker size and on the star magnitude.

    Proper motions are included to represent the sky at the  date  specified
    in the /EPOCH option if present, at the current day otherwise.

    The stars are precessed to the equinox specified by option  /EQUINOX  if
    present, and otherwise to the equinox defined in variable G_EPOCH.

    If option /OUTPUT is present, star positions, magnitudes, spectral types
    and  names  are  written  in  the specified file (which defaults to user
    terminal).

    NOTES:
      - Palomar/SRC Survey Schmidt Plates (POSS#I) are squares of size 35.56
        cm (14 inches) with a scale of 67.14 Arcsec. per mm.
      - ESO Survey Plates are squares of size 30 cm with  a  scale  of  67.6
        Arcsec. per mm.
    If you want to make overlays, do not forget the /EXACT option in command
