... Hello and welcome to the sohohunter community. If you have any questions about soho sungrazing comets then you will find that all the members here are most...
... It is somewhere around 10mag. However this is no absolute value because the limiting magnitude depends on the spectral class of the stars and the area you...
Thank you Sebastian. I am writing a java program to virtually simulate the background stars for the LASCO C3 Field of View. I will have to use a catalog other...
Charles, Yes, Tycho-2 would be a good choice but you first have to reduce it because it goes down to mag 15 and has all these data you do not know - I guess...
Charles, ... the is still the aged and no so exact SAO Star Catalogue which covers stars down to about mag 9m5. This catalogue was the basis for the AAVSO...
Hi Charles and List, If it'll save you some work, you might want to try either the Hipparcos or Tycho (1) binary files I created for use with my SkyMap...
Thank you all for your responses. I'm pretty sure from my reading and all the very kind posts here, that I need to download the Tycho2 data files. I read that...
Hi Charles, ... I'll warn you that Tycho-2 is organized quite differently from Hipparcos and Tycho-1. The stars are ordered by zones, so unless you want to...

Thank you I really enjoy looking and seeing the wonders of space. Since very young I have always looked up on a clear night and have seen some unexplainable...

Hi Charles, Just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason you're interested in simulating the background stars visible in LASCO C3? Since it's not a...
Thanks for that link. That was one I had not heard of. I actually do have some sky software that others have written and use it. I have noted that flashy...
