We present in three data files the Machine-readable versions of three editions of Tycho Brahe's star catalogue. The main file KeplerE.dat contains the catalogue as published by Kepler in 1627 as part of the Tabulae Rudolphinae, with some emendations. The second file Variants.dat contains the data from other editions if different from the data in KeplerE.dat. These other editions are i) the Manuscript version of Brahe from 1598, as published by Dreyer in the Tychonis Brahe Dani Opera Omnia Vol. III (Kopenhagen, 1916), ii) the shorter version published by Brahe In the Astronomiae Instauratae Progymnasmata (1602), iii) the original (i.e. not emended) edition by Kepler (1627), iv) variants given by Kepler (1627) as `meus catalogus' or as `Piserus'. In addition to the data from the Historical catalogue, the machine-readable version contain the modern identification with a Hipparcos star and the latter's magnitude, and based on this identification the positional accuracy. The third file Names.dat contains the latin descriptions of the stars as given in Brahe's manuscript version (1598).
