V, K: As a rule, V magnitudes are from the Simbad database, if source is variable the maximum is shown. ... For what concerns K magnitudes, they also are extracted from the Simbad database unless one of the following suffixes is present: a) the magnitude is an estimate obtained for the typical V-K of the given spectral type; b) estimate derived from the signal level during the occultation event; c) photometric measurement shortly preceding or following the occultation event. ...

ATMoB "Open Cluster Observing Award " Guidelines Purpose: To promote observing among the membership of the Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston through participation in the Open Clusters Observing Awards program. Introduction: This awards program is oriented towards visually observing open clusters above magnitude 9.9. ... It turns out that a very unprejudiced and convenient method to dermine the limiting magnitude is to count the number of visible stars in certain areas on the sky. ...

Two major reasons: the number of stars isn't really seven (it's many more), and they all have different brightnesses, so that you see more or fewer of them depending on viewing conditions. The brightness of stars is measured on the magnitude scale, where the most prominent stars in the sky are around 1st magnitude, and the faintest you can see with your eye are about 6th. ... I think this makes it quite likely that the list will be truncated at Taygeta, giving six visible stars. ...

... Limit of star magnitude. If you want to obtain best results, you should use reference stars not more dimly than limiting star magnitude of your telescope. Limiting star magnitude depends on time of an exposition also.) This value should be set as " maximum of star magnitude " in a dialog box " Extraction from catalogue". To find darkest stars in the frame, make the following: . ... Two star magnitudes (m1, m2 in two photometric systems) will be outputted in the window "Information". ...

Next: ZGSC (Compressed GSC) and XSKYMAP . ... This is a preliminary report on an investigation of the quality and properties of plates digitized during creation of the Guide Star Catalog (GSC). The results will be vital for reclassifying GSC objects. ... Many objects are measured on more than one plate, and thus have multiple catalog entries. ... Among the shortcomings of the GSC are: biased magnitudes and incorrect classifications for certain objects, presence of artifact objects. ...
