Names of the stars
Stefano TREVISAN Aug 20, 2011
Hi Bill, I have seen that the name "Bayer" has been removed from almost any place in Guide8 and it has been replaced by "Greek" (I think the change was made quite recentely).
There is any good reason for that change?
IMHO I think the last change not correct: or you use "Bayer/Flamsteed" or you use "Greek/Numbers" or, more complete, "Bayer letters/Flamsteed numbers"
As far as I know the designation Bayer-Flamsteed is still accepted by the IAU.
Best regards, Stefano
