Sagittarius stream

Late today it became apparent that Zolotov has a measurement of the velocity of the Sagittarius stream from the spectroscopically observed stars in the SDSS. The SDSS mainly took spectra of galaxies, but it had some categories for interesting stars, including blue horizontal branch and blue straggler stars in the Milky Way halo.
