Ah, sorry,
I forgot about those pages.
Anyway, the USNO Astr. Alm. gives approx.
one extra digit, personally I think that
this extra digit is irrelevant, because I
strongly believe in the Law of Large Numbers:-)
but Bill
always worries about rounding to 0'.1,
saying that under some unfortunate circumstances
the errors can accululate to 0'.2 and more:-)
I also used small stars in the Orion belt in my
previous message.
Alex.
