Peter you wrote: " The club of those who roll around names of stars for fun must have somewhat constrained membership..." LOL. Yes, very exclusive membership. While I was looking around the net for alternative namings of Zubenelgenubi, I came across a transcript of one of Jack Horkheimer's astronomy radio/tv spots. He's the "Star Hustler" and does short programs on basic stargazing. One from a few years back was titled "Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschamali: The Two Stars Of Summer You Just Love To Pronounce". Still curious: anyone know when and where the list of "57 Navigational Stars" was created? -FER http://www.HistoricalAtlas.com/lunars
