It would be nice if Pub. No. 249 Vol. 1 could be compiled for the Sun too. Man, you could do a sight reduction in a couple of minutes!

That would be one thick book since the declination changes much more than stars ever will.
Good idea though.

Vol 1 stars is so quick and helpful I could yell. Honestly, I have done the longer star sight reductions, such as Menkalinan (Beta Aurigae) and it is not hard to do but the speed of Vol 1 stars makes me tend toward using them most of the time.

Here here! Vol 1 Stars are extremely easy to use. And they're the only ones bright enough at a good altitude to take shots of.
