RCW extrafile

Bertrand Laville Mar 15, 2006

Hi Bill, Hi All,

I've pointed out a small bug in the CD_DATA4.TDF
This file includes the .TDF to display the RCW catalogue of southern emission nebulae, which is listed in the MISC_DATA directory. This .TDF indicates for the number of minutes for declination: "de m 31 2".
This is wrong; the right value is "de m 32 2".
If you modify "31" by "32" you will see that RCW nebulae are displayed at their right place. Look for instance at RCW 37 and NGC 2736 which are thus at the same location, instead of being separated by about 40'.
Hope this helps you.

Bertrand
