I received a second email, this one allegedly from the USNO folks.  I have
been out there before and downloaded one of the smaller databases.  This
message came from something like acc-creation at usno.gov which seemed odd to
me. It seemd odd to my spam filter too as it held the message in
quarantine.

David,

You and your spam filter did right.

Definitely NOT from USNO folks.  My day job is at USNO
Flagstaff Station (and I don't email this list from
there).  ALL of any official link or address from USNO
MUST end with .mil given this is the "Naval" Observatory.
I know of no connections to USNO ending with .gov or
any non-.mil suffix.

This list, and ATM resources, have been helpful to us
on the job.  PLOP let us properly tune the astatic
axial primary mirror supports of the 40-inch, Ritchey's
last scope.  I hope our databases are helpful in return.

Cheers,

Fred Harris
