    TEN lunars stars?
    From: Frank Reed CT
    Date: 2003 Dec 16, 14:58 EST
    I was browsing the Nautical Almanac from 1778 yesterday, and I was surprised to discover another lunar distance star. I was under the impression that the nine standard ones were in place right from the first edition. The extra star is Beta Capricorni. It's in a good location for a lunars star, but rather faint. I suppose that's why it doesn't appear in later editions. Were there any other "occasional" lunars stars?
