Description:
Reference star catalogs for cometary astrometry have to provide an all-sky coverage with suitable stellar density and limiting magnitude on a fundamental coordinate system. A general catalog meeting all these requirements will not be available for a foreseen timescale. The suitability of various existing catalogs for cometary astrometry is discussed.
