How Many at Magnitude x?
Ray Shapp Jun 2, 2003
Hi Group,
Is there a way to get Guide to report the NUMBER of stars brighter than a
given magnitude above ones horizon?
For example, I'd like to illustrate the effect of light pollution at my
location by entering mag -1, then mag zero, then mag 1, etc to see how many
additional stars are visible for the different limiting magnitudes. Of
course, to vary the DISPLAY, there's no need for any extra features in Guide
because that's already built-in.
To carry this a little further, is there a way to see a report of the number
of other objects (Messiers, NGCs, etc.) at various limiting magnitudes?
Thanks for the help.
