Finding a star by catalog
Roger Curry Dec 26, 2004
Can someone help? The IOTA website lists an upcoming occultation fo the
star TYC 1954-01781-1 by the asteroid Antwerpia with the path near
Jacksonville, FL on 12/31/04. Doesn't the TYC refer to the Tycho
catalog? If so, how do you enter the catalog number so that Guide will
go to that star? I found the star with no problem by inputting that
time into Guide and then going to the asteroid, but I would be
interested in knowing in general how to do it.
Thanks in advance. I hope you all had a great Christmas or other
holiday. If the weather clears up here, it will be my second New Year's
Eve celebrated by starlight.
