--- Comment #9 from Bob Miller <rmiller...@gmail.com> --- Most of the stars do have other names, but it's not as simple as R And -> Rho And. R And is HD1967 in the Henry Draper Catalog. These star names are from the variable star catalog, which contains about 57k entries. The first variable star in a constellation gets designated R <3 letter constellation name>. The ninth star in a constellation is Z <3 letter constellation name>, and then the next star is RR <3 letter constellation name>. When taking data on variable stars we're usually given the name from the variable star catalog, so having the ability to do a query in the Pointing dialogue, then have the scope go to that star is helpful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
