Re: [guide-user] Strange green (non-)stars?

Kevin Cooper Dec 5, 2003

Truman,
These are from the GSC (guide star catalogue) which is taken from
Schmidt photographic plates and may be stars or plate defects.. The
star, non star numbers give the probability of what they are. If you
don't want them to show, click Display at the top of the screen, click
Star Display and in the bottom left is a box named Non-stars. Remove the
tick in the box.
