[Aavso-photometry] HMXB Charts

[Wolfgang Renz]

Yes, why not. Its the international standard. If the British can
switch, the US could too.

A few centuries ago every petty state (even if just a few square
miles in size) had its own measures (lengths, volumns, weights,
...) and everybody might have had to pay customs several times
when goods were carried just a short distance. I hope nobody
wishes that these times come back. Even today more than one
space probe failed to reach successfully its target due to using
non-uniform measures in different countries.

And as we start to dream:
Force (former) British commonwealth countries to drive on the
right side ?

Clear skies
