How do I get more details of objects shown in the Millennium Star Atlas? For example, how do I get the period and other details of the variable objects shown in the Atlas?
A. There are two easy ways. Either use the www on-line catalogue search facility to get details of objects in a given area close to that of the object you’re interested in. It should be straightforward to track the object down from that. Or use Celestia 2000, with its interrogation software for PC and compatibles, to perform this search.
