        [Ashish,Balaya  (IE10)]  Hi Glenn,
           If you like I can get you the coordinates of some bright stars
from Burnham's Celestial Handbook, which I have a copy of. They might
beepoch 1950 so will have some (hardly noticeable) error. Is that OK? I can
mail you the coordinates in another 4-5 hours (when I go home for lunch from
work). I will also mail you some epoch 2000 coordinates which I can get from
Sanford's "Observing the Constellations".

        Clear skies,
        Balaya
