Necessary if you still do this stuff

The Star Almanac gives positions of over 600 stars to 1 arc second precision. It is and excellent reference to cross check RA and Dec computed by other means. The USNO website may give more accurate positions, but the stars are limited.

Great service even for a Land Surveyor!

As a land surveyor, ANS is a great resource for astronomical and celestial navigation items. I'll be placing another order next year for sure.
