| Right
Ascension (RA) - this is the object's right ascension in hours and
minutes(epoch 2000.0). |
|
| |
|
|
|
| Declination
(DEC) - this is the object's declination in degrees and minutes (epoch
2000.0). |
|
| |
|
|
|
| Magnitude
- this is the magnitude of the object.
The original source file had some magnitude |
|
| values
for the objects omitted. However, ECU
User Object Files will not function properly |
|
| without
magnitude values. In these instances,
a magnitude of 20.0 has been assigned.
Please |
|
| note
that in cases when the magnitudes are fainter than 19.4, ECU correctly
displays the |
|
| magnitude
value label (decimals omitted), but reports a series of question marks (??.?)
in the |
|
| Identify
Object dialog box. |

object" requiring a telescope of at least
25cm (10 inch) aperature; although local sky conditions, use of filters, and
experience are also factors. |
