Reports 52 (7), 546 ANNOUNCEMENTS ADDRESS CHANGE FOR COMMISSION 26 WEBSITE AND USNO DOUBLE STAR CATALOGS Under direction of its Chief of Naval Operations, all of the websites for the U.S. Navy Oceanography community were recently combined under a single web portal. As a result, the URLs for the Commission 26 website, as well as the WDS, Fourth Interferometric Catalog, Sixth Orbit Catalog, and all other USNO double star catalogs, have changed. All of these sites can now be reached from the URL: There may be some further changes to locations of the catalog data files themselves, but the addresses of this page and the pages linked directly from it should remain correct. A considerable number of changes were made to these catalogs in rather short order, so we would appreciate notification of any broken links, as well as any erroneous or missing information the reader may run across. Suggestions for other improvements are also welcome. Brian D. Mason & William I. Hartkopf U.S. Naval Observatory 9
