missing nearby stars stc?

Post #1by Evil Dr Ganymede » 15.07.2004, 18:19

Can someone remind me where to get hold of the stc file that has the missing nearby stars (e.g. Wolf 359) that weren't in the Hipparcos catalogue?

And has anyone done (or can anyone make?) an stc of the latest RECONS list?

It's at http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/hutchison/nearstars.html.
I updated it in the light of the current RECONS list on 14 June.

Ta, Grant.

EDIT: Never mind, I read the intro :)

Also, the current RECONS list is accurate as of July 1st 2004 - does that mean they've updated it again since you last looked in June?

Must've done - I'll take a look, thanks.

Yep, five new stars. I've updated the file and Selden has it posted at the link above.
