>> CRAWZ P 2000 181502.26 -401324.5 GSC

     I'm sure I'll be thought of as nit-picking, but this GSC v1.1 position
is about 0".8 in error.  GSC v1.1 should be abandoned entirely in favor
of (at the very least) GSC v1.2 or GSC-ACT.  Both of these are readily
searched using VizieR.  In this particular case, the best available
position (and it is _very_ good) is from UCAC1:

18 15 02.326  -40 13 24.20 (2000)

...which should be adopted for this star.  I presume it's already been
noticed that WZ CrA = IRAS 18115-4014 = IRAS F18115-4014.
