Yeah, that is something I don't have a feel for.. How many stars are
candidates? I assume you could get a moon RA/declination list, and then
run that against the star list.
This is one of those things that I was hoping there's probably someone
who has a program that can do the search trivially.
I have a moon ephemeris, but I haven't found a convenient star catalog
(something in ASCII that has ID, RA, Dec, Mag would be nice)
OK.. I found something.. A list of the 301 brightest stars (down to
about 3.55 mag)..
Bummer.. only about 5 or 6 of them are anywhere near where the moon goes
in 2012. (as in within a few degrees in declination)
