Reference Star Finder

Post by Francois Teyssier »

I propose an excel spreadsheet built on a list of 1044 B and A spectral type main sequence stars.
The list is extracted from SIMBAD (thank's to François Cochard for the idea)
Color excess is estimated for each star, in order to prevent bad intrumental response computation because of interstellar extinction.
You have to choose the distance and enter RA and Dec, then press "Compute" button.
Hope this is useful for you
