Scientific paper

A practicing stellar astrometrist relates trials, tribulations, and successes with present-day Virtual Observatory interfaces and databases, including the U.S. National Virtual Observatory site, SIMBAD/Aladin, and Google Sky. I briefly describe a recent astrometric result from the Hubble Space Telescope (measuring the mass of an extrasolar planet), aided and abetted by contributions from an existing Virtual Observatory. We look forward to a time when issues of database completeness, access speed, and *quality* of interaction have improved and further evolved, and present some suggested concrete requirements for next generation virtual observatories.
