Oooh, I can fairly easily convert that data into a csv
to read with POV...the stars.inc I have now is just their
RA/decl position and magnitude, no distance, and it uses
POV rotational notation instead of RA/decl, so I can't
even figure out which stars are which just looking at it
(some day I'll write a macro to read the data and spit
back out RA/decl so I can add star names as a comment,
maybe)
