[sac-forum] Re: Call for Observations - Perseus

Cap H is Herschel, HN is Herschel's Index Catalog (a later addendum).  In the 
WDS (Washington Double Star catalog), John Herschel is HJ, but I use h for his 
code in my database, like the SAC database does.

Now, I am confused:

Capital "H" or "HN" for Wm Herschel or Hershel Number for double stars.

Lower case "h" for John Herschel.

There is no "HJ" in the SAC double star data.

HJ is John Herschel, not William.  William is listed as H IV xx or H III xx
etc.

Dick, need clarification or support on your double star abbreviations.  STT
is for Otto Struve and the HJ are William and John Herschel.  Correct?

Clear skies,
