Re: (IAAC) Obj: Alpha Ori - Inst: 10" F4.8 Equatorial Mount GP/DX



Thanks again barry

I was using Skymap pro which has put a line through the star Alpha Orionis, Which i thought meant that it was a double i am very possibly using the program wrong. If anyone could clear this up i would apprceciate it. i know that if there is just a circle with no colour then that indicates a variable, but with a horizontal line does this not indicate a double. If this is wrong then i appologise.
and am only to pleased that i marked my experience down to less than one year. :-)

Thanks again Barry and please correct me whenever it's the only way i will learn...
