I've often thought some enterprising soul should set up a web site where
you
can pick your own star - for free. "Have your name associated with a
star!"
It could include an option to have your name added to a public database
of
"name associations," and the ability to print a chart and nice
certificate
on your home printer.

Lacking such a site, folks could certainly pick one on their own, and
use a
planetarium program to print a chart. Sue and I have "our" star - W
Ursae
Majoris - propery registered in our weddding bands.

Great idea! Print this post, then cut off at the dotted lines.
Alternatively, you might wish to paste the text into your Mac's page
layout program and print it with a fancy type face. There is no charge
for this service.

This is great, Davoud!!! Now we need a place to file the completed form(s).
.. .may I be so bold as to suggest emailing them to the International Star
Registry and put them on notice not to touch or assign the star?

Here is the appropriate link: http://www.starregistry.com/contact.cfm

This action will certainly upset quite a few people around there g
