Good stuff. It does seem to need a bit of hacking though, to decode the files. But here you have magnitudes, proper motions and parallaxes, that is, all you need to draw star maps at various times on Earth and many nearby places in the universe as well at the current time. With a bit of red shift data you find radial motions as well, but I don't see that they have those. LEF
