If we're talking about the same program, doesn't ICE use the FK5
catalogue (1536 stars)?

Hi Jonathan, thank you for your answer,
Yes, ICE use the 200 brighter stars of the FK5 catalog.
Do you know where I can found a simple list of theses stars, with their name and their magnitude ?
Thank you.

Merci Benoît,
Le catalogue PDFest déjà une bonne étape. Sais-tu s'il existe une version "informatique" (fichier
texte ou xls...) ?
Merci encore

Thank you Benoît,
For a first step, the PDF file is OK. But do you know if a computer file of this catalog exist (text
file or xls file...) ?
Thank you again.

Doing a bit more searching (it's raining !) I found this
http://cadcwww.dao.nrc.ca/skycat/dist/fk5.cat.
If you want the 200 brightest stars you will need to sort it by
magnitude.
