In generating charts for LMC fields, beware that both the GSC and
USNO-Ax.x have lots of errors of both in omitting brighter stars, showing
stars where there is none (spurious detections), and in Ax.x having
magnitudes that are completely erroneous. Probably neither catalogue will
be suitable for chart purposes. The current best bet would be the
recently-issued UCAC.
