Quote:SkyTools 3 asks for longitudes measured to the west, which means that they are positive in the western hemisphere and negative in Europe. So it is a negative number.Thank you for the explanation - I got it now.
Quote:There are two ways to look at double star catalog errors. You can get upset that the data isn't perfect and tell me I should fix it, or you can see it as an opportunity to do some exploring on your own to find out what is really there. I myself find the second approach to be much more interesting, so I would love to hear from someone who has observed this system to know what stars are really there.I will try to provide you some input, but unfortunately my scopes have small aperture. But during autumn time frame 31 Cyg will be high in the sky so maybe i will be able to make a nice sketch.
In October I will try to book the scope that is available in Gdansk (http://obserwatorium.gfo.pl/o-nas/wyposazenie/), maybe despite light pollution I will be able to see more.
