list of 173 'navigational' stars?

It is my understanding that the original Flamsteed numbers are the ones used as the "navigational" stars? The brightest. May be wrong.... I doubt it. The Flamsteed numbering extends to stars of about the fifth magnitude (though there's a bit of inconsistency about this). Also, the numbering is repeated per constellation. All told, there are something more than 2,500 Flamsteed numbered stars. -- Brian Tung The Astronomy Corner at http://astro.isi.edu/ Unofficial C5+ Home Page at http://astro.isi.edu/c5plus/ The PleiadAtlas Home Page at http://astro.isi.edu/pleiadatlas/ My Own Personal FAQ (SAA) at http://astro.isi.edu/reference/faq.html |
