Perhaps... one or more astrophotographers in Astrobin know the exact coordinates of the object known as Huruhata's variable in the constellation Cancer, also known as EG Cancri. Are there other designations than EG Cancri ? I want to see some info on SIMBAD (coordinates, etc...). |

I've never heard of it, but some quick googling I found this: https://academic.oup.com/pasj/article/50/4/405/2949027 |

Mmmmmm... thanks Brian, although... I also detected that source a while ago. Perhaps my spectacles don't work the way they should do, but it looks as if that article doesn't show the coordinates of this object (variable star EG Cancri). |

Danny Caes: Here's the simbad link for Eg CNC https://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=eg+cnc&NbIdent=1&Radius=2&Radius.unit=arcmin&submit=submit+id Strangely enough the article does not directly say the location of the star, however it does reference nearby reference stars used for photometry Unless I'm misunderstanding your question, I believe this is what you're looking for. |

Thanks Brian, Michael, and Monty! (by the way, many more named deepsky objects, telescopic asterisms, and peculiar stars are waiting to get their coordinates!) (see also the list of named objects from Clear Skies). Danny. |

FYI - Stellarium 23.3 has a lot of custom objects, such as this one. The very best planning tool available for us.. |

Thanks a lot Monty and Michael! Hopefully all my questions will be answered! You have to see my (good old fashioned) cahier in which I wrote all the names and nicknames of deepsky objects + telescopic asterisms and stars which were (and still are) investigated by professional and amateur astronomers. I'm not looking for the classic starnames such as Betelgeuze or Sirius, I'm only interested in starnames which have the names of their discoverers or investigators in them, such as Barnard's star (Velox Barnardi). I only collect names and nicknames of objects beyond the solar system, because... imagine a cahier full of names of asteroids, comets, and all the moons of the planets. My goodness, it would be not just one cahier, it would be a whole series! (I like writing in a not-so-new looking cahier, but... only one such a book is enough!). Strange hobby: if this cahier was a brand new product from the supermarket, it would be not that interesting. No, I prefer an old (read: a not-so-recent) and previously unused (and slightly yellowish "dirty" looking) example from the flea-market! (a cahier with a certain history: who was the owner of it?). And yes, I like searching in flea-markets! (old maps and atlases of the constellations? Alas, nothing found yet). Danny Nostalgia. |
