A high density reference star catalog is being compiled at the U. S. Naval Observatory for the purpose of making new reductions of the Astrographic Catalog. The catalog will be a replacement to the SAO catalog and will be derived from the large photographic catalogs and the modern meridian circle catalogs. It is expected that the final catalog will contain 346, 000 stars, with proper motion mean errors generally or less, on a uniform system, the data having been reduced first to FK4 and then to FK5 using the International Reference Stars (IRS).
