* Because the various only services typically do not like files with so many comments and coordinates listed in hours/degrees, minutes, and seconds, I have compacted this file and converted the coordinates into decimal degrees (see below and attached pdf file), and I have made this file a comma separated file (csv).  This means that excel will read it as well as normal text editors, but more importantly, the online services can read it.  This file is testset.csv  (although be warned, some services only want RA, Dec and you may need to make changes to this file to get it to work with some services - again see the pdf file).
