Contents
Solar Fire includes a number of chart databases with a total more than 2000 charts, from several sources - The Clifford Data Compendium and the Australian Data Collection, and a collection of other charts from Sy Scholfield.
All of the chart data has been supplied by reputable specialist data collectors, and has been rated for accuracy using Rodden Rating system.

•AA - Data from Birth Certificates (BC), hospital or governmental birth records (BR), notes from Vital Statistics/Registries, family bibles, baby books, family written records. This is the best evidence of data accuracy available.
•A - Data from the person, family member, friend or associate. Also included are newspaper birth announcements. Times given within a ‘window of time’ of thirty minutes (e.g. “between 3.30pm and 4.00pm”) are presented here.
•B - Data from biographies and autobiographies where no other source is given.
•C - Caution, data not validated. No source, vague, rectified/speculative data, “personal” ambiguous sources, approximate birth times (e.g. “early morning”, “around lunchtime”).
•DD - Dirty Data. Two or more unsubstantiated quotes of time, place or data (perhaps rectified without designation). Any unverified data that are contradicted by another source.
