Type Alias cat_entry 

pub type cat_entry = novas_cat_entry;

Basic astrometric data for any sidereal object located outside the solar system.

Note, that despite the slightly expanded catalog name, this has the same memory footprint as the original NOVAS C version, allowing for cross-compatible binary exchange (I/O) of these structures.
