Chris,
Yep. I think this is a problem we will have to work out over time. I would
figure that we start at the equator, and slowly work away from it creating
our own standard star fields as we go. Over time we have our own equivalent
of Landolt standards. If we are looking at 45 degrees, then there might be
more error in going to a Landolt standard than in using something closer. I
think only time and a lot of data will tell.
