HVN and R Monocerotis

Mark Huss Nov 9, 2002

I found an odd problem that led me to a question.

First the problem. If you do "Goto/Nebula/Common Name/Hubble's
Variable(NGC 2261) it'll take you there. If you have DSS images
turned on it'll show you an image. But no matter how I tried to right-
click on it, and how many times I clicked [next], I never got to
information on HVN, the original "goto" object. Is this a gap in the
underlying information?

While trying to find a good "clicking point" I wanted to locate the
star at the base of the nebula,R Monocerotis, but could not figure
out how to do this. Is there a way that I'm missing? If you right-
click on S Mon it'll tell you it's S Mon along with the rest of the
data. I noticed when turning the DSS image on and off that no star
appears where R should be. ??
