Guide 9.0 LONEOS stars too bright

watchingthesky2003 Nov 25, 2011

Just got the DVD in today. When going to M66 and M101, the LONEOS stars are shown to be much brighter than they actually are. For instance NGC 5457A is listed at magnitude 2.0. Is this a widespread error in magnitude for stars from this catalogue or did it not install correctly on my computer?

I often use these stars for photometry when in the field of a supernova.
