Lol actually those pages look awfully familiar and I do believe that is
where I got the majority of the original calculations I used. So thank you
for those they are back once again in my list of places to remember :)

The big thing is guys that I did these back when ASTRO 2 was in Beta, that's
a few years back now.. I've released the dump in 'database' format because
in database format you can manipulate it on a level you can not in a excel
sheet or in the csv's I've dumped ie.. you can do a query to combine close
stars etc.

It's just very hard to remember the exact calcs I used x amont of years
ago.. I can however give the PHP if required for doing the data base dumps
as they used to be created.
