The individual catalogs may have other
licensing or copyright schemes, but in general a sound citation
practice should be all right -- even more so since most of the
individual authors are either dead or retired.OpticalkatkatARI Catalog of Catalogs
ARI katkat is a catalog of star catalogues
in the spirit of G. Teleki's catalog of star catalogs
(`1989BOBeo.140..131T`_ and references in there). It contains
2573 catalogs suitable for astrometric usage, starting with Flamsteed
(1835) and ending in the 1970ies. For almost all of them, there
is a column description file (as PDF, and unfortunately sometimes in
German) and the digitized content.
