SAO's newbie help pls
Just bought my first scope, a Celestron Nexstar 102mm refarctor with
motorised gismos and software that I've almost worked out. However, it asks me for the SAO's that it's descruction manual doesn't list/include - even for the most obvious/brightest stars! I've Googled and downloaded Gigs of stuff that still doesn't tell me what 99999XXAABB etc represents which star - can one or some of you kind folks tell me where to look (a URL) or what I'm doing wrong please. Thanks Mark |

SAO's newbie help pls
wrote in message oups.com... Hi Mark, not at all familiar with this scopes controller, though it is a bit surprising that it only asks for SAO numbers... Some of the star chart programs such as Guide give you the SAO designation (and other catalogue designations) when you click on an object to get its info display. I also found this website: http://www.alcyone.de/SIT/bsc/bsc_search.html which probably does what you are looking for... Hope this helps, Callum thanks Callum I'll check it out and report back Mark |
