Found a typo in spectbins.stc
The distance for Delta Trianguli is wrong. It says 23.982609 light years when it should be around 34 or 35 light years.

A longer discussion here (note that page appears to have come out rather badly from a character set conversion)
Since that discussion there has been a new more careful reduction of the Hipparcos data. The new Hipparcos parallax for the system is 92.73±0.39 mas, which is 35.2 light years.

After your new HIP reduction is finalized, I will have to rerun my Perl scripts for the 2 binary datasets anyway. Typically, the HIP distance is chosen for the barycenter... So , I guess this will get automatically right...
