NAME

Astro::Catalog::Query::GSC - A query request to the GSC Catalog

SYNOPSIS

    $gsc = new Astro::Catalog::Query::GSC(
            RA        => $ra,
            Dec       => $dec,
            Radius    => $radius,
            Bright    => $magbright,
            Faint     => $magfaint,
            Sort      => $sort_type,
            Nout      => $number_out );

    my $catalog = $gsc->querydb();

DESCRIPTION

The module is an object orientated interface to the online Guide Star catalogue at the ESO/ST-ECF archive site.

Stores information about an prospective GSC query and allows the query to be made, returning an Astro::Catalog::GSC::Catalog object.

The object will by default pick up the proxy information from the HTTP_PROXY and NO_PROXY environment variables, see the LWP::UserAgent documentation for details.

See Astro::Catalog::BaseQuery for the catalog-independent methods.
