Here is the response I received today: Gary While the Navigational Stars pages may be somewhat out-of-date, this is not really considered an error. Our policy is that on-line publications should contain the same information as their current printed editions. The 1982 editions of Volumes 2 and 3 are still the current issues of these publications. The Navigational Star pages will be updated when the next editions are issued.
