Number of visible stars

Post #1by dtessman » 17.01.2003, 17:02

I am getting about 8800 stars visible from the Sol system when Celestia is displaying stars within the visible range of magnitude. Is that about right?

It would be nice to show how many stars are visible as you adjust the visible range parameter.

Fairly close, I think the actual estimated number of visible stars is more like 6000, but lets not quible over details, it's definately under 10,000.... and I doubt I could spot the difference anyway !
