Catalogue error?

[Paul Leyland]

I just solved a wide-field image of a part of Taurus and was surprised
to find tau Tauri labelled as Alcyone.

This with a local installation as supplied with Ubuntu 20.04.

Would someone like to check whether this is a global problem, please,
and fix it if it is.

Cheers,

    Paul

Thanks for your note.

Could you try submitting the same image again and see if you get the correct result?  I just updated the named-stars list.

It seems to work correctly for my example image,

By the way, this also opens up the ability for others to build bright-star lists for other "sky cultures" (Stellarium's name).

cheers,
