Errors in star files

Post #1by bdm » 23.10.2007, 09:18

I discovered today that the double star Delta Trianguli is in the wrong location.

Celestia reports a distance of 23.98 light years
nstars.nau.edu reports 10.8213 parsecs (35.2945 light years)

A thread discussing Chi Draconis: Chi Draconis... uh oh! - includes a list of duplicate stars in visualbins.stc and spectbins.stc.

In this case, all the doubles have been corrected by Fridger. The corrected files are on CVS now.
