As far as the accuracy of tyco-2000. The above quoted 2.5 mili-arc-seconds/year is for the proper motion of a star, it's motion across the sky relative to the fixed background of stars. The positional accuracy is 60 mas. All this is per tyco literature.
What I have found so far, looking at 60min windows, is that 10-30 persent of the stars ar colinear to less thatn 1 arcsec at least for the areas I've looked at. Program blows up if I look at a window larger or there are too may stars in the window. I now have to fugure out why. That's the real problem.
Thanks for all your interest and ideas on how to improve the program. I obviously need to improve the algorithm.
