Read Me:
To add data register an account and in your dashboard select 'add regions by file' and use file 'simbad_new.tsv' for reference. For new data go to http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/ and replicate the file named 'simbad_new.tsv', which contains region data from the simbad app. This data is added to the database and http://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/applications/Gator/ API is used to find stars for each region name.
