[Aavso-photometry] RA-DEC information on comp stars in CCD Charts

Hello,

I was wondering if RA-DEC (current) information on comp stars in the CCD charts

http://www.aavso.org/observing/charts/ccd.shtml

is available in tabular form somewhere on the AAVSO site? I'd like this information to permit star identification in "image space" using Visual PinPoint (pointing to NOMAD on the net) within MaxIm DL. I can get this information by other means, but was just curious about a possibly more convenient source for this information.

Another question I have (in view of the parenthesis indicating that the CCD Charts with multicolor photometry are out of date; see http://www.aavso.org/observing/charts/) is what is the current best resource for photometric data for CCD imagers (using Cousins/Johnson filters) on the AAVSO site or in general?

Thank you,

Bill Perkins
