What are star catalogs?

0

Star catalogs are lists of stars. Over the centuries, astronomers have devised various different star catalogs/listings. They refer to stars by catalog numbers, astronomical coordinates, or in a few cases by commonly-used names, such as “Polaris” — the North Star. Our register refers to stars by your chosen name, and is thus personal rather than scientific.
