Scientific paper

The Guide Star Catalog (GSC) was initially created to support the operational requirements of the HST, specifically, to provide an all-sky set of reference coordinates for pointing and tracking. A new version of the catalog, GSC 1.1, includes bright stars from the HIPPARCOS INCA data base. The GSC is widely used by the astronomical community for many different applications. Some results of the investigation of the GSC at the Moscow Center for Astronomical Data are presented here.
