TYC stars
RogerC Jul 3, 2011
Hi, Bill, or anyone who knows.
Today I was trying to find star TYC 0292-00339-1 for the 52 Europa occulatation and could not find a way to find it using the GO TO Star menu. I tried several catalogs, added or dropped the TYC (Tycho?) but always came up NOT A VALID OBJECT.
When I finally got the coordinate of the star and located it in Guide, the TYC designation was in the star info box.
Also ran into the problem of 52 Eudora being wildly off the mark (Guide 8 said it is in Ophiucus and the occultation is taking place in Virgo).
Thanks in advance.
