[Aavso-photometry] what happened to these stars?

[Thom Gandet]

Hi Yenal,

    In TheSky 6, select Data/File Locations from the main menu bar.  At
the bottom of the dialogue box, there is a "Verify" button.  Use that to make
sure the file locations are correct.

    Also, there is a check box ("Visible") on the "Object Information/Properties/
Display Properties" tab that may not be checked.  If it is unchecked, none
of the objects of a particular class (like "galaxies") will be displayed.

    You might want to mess about with the Image Manager (under the Tools main
menu), which will place an image - not just a symbol - of some objects at the 
right position.

Regards,
Thom

Hi all,

I was just imaging the asteriod 723 Hammonia and I
found that I imaged something odd. First I thought
that it was a galaxy then I checked The Sky6 and saw
that it should be the following star:

Object name: GSC 4949:1092
Magnitude: 13.3
Equatorial: RA: 12h 45m 32s   Dec: -00°30'15"(current)
Equatorial 2000: RA: 12h 45m 09s   Dec: -00°27'42"

In the same image another star diffuses too:

Object name: GSC 4949:159
Magnitude: 8.3
Equatorial: RA: 12h 45m 56s   Dec: -00°34'42"(current)
Equatorial 2000: RA: 12h 45m 32s   Dec: -00°32'10"

You can see the image from the following link:

I checked MPC if they are Asteroid or Comet but they
are not. To eliminate the possibility of reflection of
light in the optics of my telescope, I imaged the same
area by moving telescope a bit, in different
directions. Can anyone tell me what happened to these
stars?

Thank you.
