"S" is not a Bayer (greek letter) or Flamsteed (number) designation. It's a variable star designation.
I'm not too familiar with v.3 yet, but 2.76 found both S Cep and S Gem using the search box. They're both in the GCVS (general catalog of variable stars). Variable star designations are complicated. See <http://www.seds.org/~spider/spider/Misc/naming.html>, scroll down a few paragraphs to the section on vauriable stars. -John --- Sander Pool <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Oh, sorry.
