Re: Name-List 77 contains TASS variable



For the Mark III data there were just too many spurious hits, mostly due to
clouds, and the limited number of data points made it harder to eliminate
the false positives.  I've really not gotten a chance to dig into to the
Mark IV data, so I guess the bottleneck there is "me."  I've got the CCD &
telescope, and am actually running out of accessible EBs in the GCVS, so I
need to work on other targets.  I've honestly not spent much time churning
through the Mark IV online database.  My experience with the Mark III
database was that it was way too slow to remotely pull large data sets to do
things like search for stars with large W-S stats.  Maybe this is
easier/faster now?
