OK this seems to work! I've clicked only the boxes I need, typed <6.5 for magnitude, and after some coaching from @RobJeffries I looked on the left where it says "preferences" and changed Max: to unlimited and the format to ASCII, and received 7,982 stars! I'll follow up with ESA, but I'm non-commercial, this is a personal "science project." Thanks!!

| Mar 12, 2016 at 1:35 | comment | added | ProfRob | @uhoh ps The query page I sent you does allow you to download as much of the table as you like. The option is in the preferences box on the left hand side, in a drop-down box labelled "max". | |
| Mar 12, 2016 at 1:33 | comment | added | ProfRob | @uhoh This is an open source catalogue for scientific use. There is no paywall, and you didn't encounter one. If you intend some sort of commercial use you will have to make your own arrangements with ESA. Could you not find your way to where the entire catalogue can be downloaded? have added the link to the table descriptions page (which you'll need) that has links to ftp downloads of the entire catalogue. | |
