In this section we provide a sample target file that includes an example of every coordinate type/target type combination that can be imported into HSpot. These are not real astronomical targets. They are random positions used to illustrate the correct format for HSpot targets, if you are using a text editor to create a target file. The target list window from HSpot for these targets is shown below.

# Please edit this file with care to maintain the 
# correct format so that HSpot can still read it.
