Use of the AGASC 1.8 in Chandra Operations
==========================================

The Chandra Aspect Team uses an HDF5 version of the AGASC 1.8 data and
the Python agasc package https://sot.github.io/agasc/index.html. References
in this document to the agasc package refer to that Python code.
Contact [email protected] if you would like to use the catalog
directly with that Python package.
