First, let me apologize to members of this group who are south of the equator... When doing the 'N Polar Calibrate' is there a list of good stars to use for this exercise anywhere? The AP manual says to pick a star that is in the eastern or western sky that has an RA of plus or minus 4 hours from Polaris. It then goes on to say that Arcturus for instance would not be a good choice. Has anyone compiled a list of good stars by season in the east and west that would meet the requirements? I don't have the RA and DEC of various stars committed to memory so it would be helpful (to me at least) to have a good list of stars available so I wouldn't make the mistake of using a star like Arcturus which is similar in RA to Polaris. The other night I used Betelgeuse in the west and it seemed to be OK.
