In order to provide sufficient pointing information for the Space Telescope, the Guide Star Selection System has to contain a catalog of approximately 20 million guide star candidates in the range of 9.0 to 14.5 visual magnitudes. This catalog is currently being constructed from digitized Schmidt survey plates covering the entire sky. An image inventory process extracts the relevant object data; after photometric and astrometric calibration the data are screened to arrive at suitable guide star candidates. The selection process for a given target takes into account geometric and photometric parameters of the field, scheduling information, and acquisition probabilities for each guide star pair.
