I typically use Guide 8 for star charts and it
has ooodooles of star info, including tycho2,
(& can access newer databases)
but when I tell it to goto this star this info
is not readily digestible, and when I go to simbad
for other designations it says the above star is not
in its database. I'm sure I can hunt and find it
eventually (have Guide display asteroids and see what
+11 vM stars are nearby) but I assume I am doing
something wrong with either Guide or simbad, but
problem is not obvious to me. might it help if
steve listed alternate star designations with his
info (???)
