Found this really messed up star:
TYC 4242-3366-0
2.21 RSun
SurfaceTemp 9520.000K
Class ?0 V

The class is the only thing that is odd. I have the star database A.

Hi Billybob 884,

This is not a star extracted from the Tycho stars database, but from the Hipparcos companion stars database. Its reference is HIP 33664242. TYC 4242-3366-0 is not a valid Tycho number.

This star is the companion of HIP109810.

regards,

Pascal

One thing I am still trying to cope with billybob is things arent as blatantly obvious as we would like them to be ;)

chris should really make a document with a key explaining keys, how to use certain features, ect. or an faq document that would come with celestia... or both...
