This should be a hit at star parties! Imagine showing the public a nearby relative (well, not that nearby at 110 lys) to our Sun. And the fact that it's visible in low power binos and small scopes. There's also a link near the bottom of the article to download a 410 KB JPEG chart (my best guess is that it's near the double/multiple star 90 Hercules) that identifies HD 162826. http://www.utexas.edu/news/2014/05/08/sun-sibling-astronomy/ Tom Sevcik
Here's some interesting info for you about NEO's and towards the bottom of the page is a link to be able to officially name a star!

This topic seems to pop up here every few years. I've had a personal experience with it that was rather sad. My ex-wife's nephew was killed in an auto-pedestrian accident many years ago, and some of his relatives "named" a star after him with the original company that offered this service. His parents asked me to show them the star in a telescope, which I did, gladly, but were somewhat saddened to learn that it wasn't an official designation. That's the problem with these companies, they mislead the public into thinking that the names they purchase are used by astronomers worldwide and are "official".

For the company in question, the details are right in their FAQ: "Can I really name a star after a person? Can I buy a star? Will my star name be officially recognized? Clearly, you cannot buy a star. The stars belong to all of us or none of us, whichever you prefer, and they are not for sale. Naming a star is a symbolic gift idea which obviously does not involve any legal title/ownership. Our register is not used by the scientific community although it is a perfectly valid register. Scientists refer to stars only by their astronomical coordinates, catalog number, or in a few cases by commonly-used names, such as "Polaris," the North Star. In referring to and listing stars by name the name you choose we have created a symbolic and personal rather than astronomically significant listing." http://nameastarlive.com/faq.asp#namingofficial Though it would be just as simple (and far cheaper) to create your own family "register" and start calling Vega "Aunt Doris" at your family star parties. I call dibs on Polaris. ;-) -Ryan
You should have to pay double to Polaris. Epsilon lyrae should cost 4 times.

Actually, Polaris is a 5 star system, maybe 6 if you include the spectroscopic binary portion of AUmiA, and Epsilon Lyrae is a 10 star system. Does that make it possible to charge an order of magnitude more for eLyrae? One of my favorite asterisms is the Engagement Ring. Can I purchase that complete asterism? It should be less than eLyr. Besides, Siegfried will want the double double. On Tuesday, May 13, 2014 11:19 AM, "Dunn, David" <David.Dunn@supervalu.com> wrote: You should have to pay double to Polaris.

Don, Thanks for looking. I have a collimation eyepiece for this refractor and it does look good. I will have to check it out with a star ASAP. Here is a 300 second sub from my M20 image that I have enlarged to show the elongation. Do you think this is tracking. The software I use to Stack, (images plus) handles eccentricity quite nicely but the focus becomes a bit soft. Your input will be greatly appreciated.
