Alniyat /tau scorpii in Stellarium Web

[taurasg1]

Heav noticed that Alniyat is also described as tau scorpii. But tau scorpii is different star.

Alniyat may have been Tau Sco's commonly used name for the last millennium, though. I cannot say now what the name means, but maybe just "companion" (to Antares), which is why it's good practice to always add the Bayer letter in communications. Only recently star names are being made unique, and the name limited to Antares's other companion, σ Sco, while τ bears the name Paikauhale now.

Anyway it should be not "Tau" but "sigma". In Stellarium desktop all seems to be correct

Which is why this report should actually go to stellarium-web...
