The label "59" seems to me to refer to T (CST), not > to AG, which is separately identified to the NE of T. Of course, the chart has been corrected yesterday... > I agree, however, that there are errors in star identification in the > (b) scale chart. Yes, but this is a different error than the error from two days ago..... Incredibly, now that AG Carinae has been marked on the charts and the positions of T Car have been changed, this star and AG Carinae are wrongly identified again!!!! In the first release, T Carinae was identified with the 8.68 magnitude star HD 94664. Now, T Carinae is marked as the 593 star, yes...... BUT ITS POSITION IS THE S(H)AME!!! Only that the dot size for HD 94664 has been expanded to that of a 5.9 magnitude star!!! And this is the worst part of this new amazing tail: the real T Carinae has been labeled as......... AG Carinae!!!!! and its dot size has shrunk to the size of a 8.7 magnitude star !!!!! So, this is getting worse every day.... AG Car is the bright star to the NE As I said: > Please, keep trying, maybe next time you can spot one or two stars > correctly...... Keep trying! Move everything a little bit more to the NE please !!! Oh, some more interesting stuff: In the "a" chart, there is another misidentified star: the "63" comparison at the W of S Car is actually V= 7.05 (HD 86675). I am sure you wanted to plot the 6.14 star HD 87543 instead.... Sebastian. PS: the Hp=V confussion is still there, as well as the variable comparison star for CCD work.
