I think the absMag is wrong.

I could modify Celestia to automatically compute the brightness from the radius and temperature when a magnitude isn't specified, but PSR 1620-26B seems like a pretty rare case.
Hungry4info wrote:(off topic) The image you provided shows the PSR B1620-26 system inside the M4 Cluster, or at least within a dense star area. In my version of Celestia, the cluster is not given. Are the stars based on real data? If so, where can I obtain an STC for them?
