Error in star data

Open anzgar01 opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Hi there, for some reason the star data for Gienah (belonging to Corvus) seems to be wrong. If you click on it (stellarium-web.org), it shows HIP 102488. However, if you enter HIP 102488 in the search you get pointed to a completely different star! Gienah should be HIP 59803 according to wikipedia.

Any chance you can fix that? Or can I actually create a fork and fix it myself? Thanks in advance :-)

Both are "Gienah"=Wing.

  • HIP102488 should better be called "Aljanah" or "Gienah Cygni"
  • HIP59803 could also be renamed for clarity: "Gienah Ghurab"
