Marfak

Laren Dart Jul 12, 2006

Bill,

Two stars about 27' apart, mu and theta Cas, are both labelled
"Marfak" although Goto|Object name and Goto|Star|(catalogue) both go
to the brighter of the two. All catalog designations and parameters
show they really are different stars. However, "more info" for both
stars gives the name as Marfak. Is this an historical boo-boo, or a
mis-labelling in Guide?

Looking forward to G9...? (nag, nag, nag!) >;->
