Name	Schema Table	Database	Description	Type	Length	Unit	Default Value	Unified Content Descriptor
ra	[nspid]Detection, [nspid]Source	WSA NonSurvey	Celestial Right Ascension	float	8	Degrees		POS_EQ_RA_MAIN
			Celestial Right Ascension as computed in the processing pipeline, accurate to of order 0.1 arcsec. Note that original catalogue data has only r*4 storage precision, accurate only to ≈ 50mas. RA and Dec in the database are derived more precisely from WCS in the header and x and y attributes.
