Abstract
This optical catalogue combines the all-sky USNO-B1.0/A1.0 and most-sky APM catalogues, plus overlays of SDSS optical data, into a single all-sky map presented in a sparse binary format which is easily downloaded at 9Gb zipped. Total count is 1,163,237,190 sources and each has J2000 astrometry, red & blue magnitudes with PSFs and variability indicator, and flags for proper motion, epoch, and source survey & catalogue for each of the photometry and astrometry. The catalogue is available on the PASA datastore at http://dx.doi.org/10.4225/50/5807fbc12595f .
