| Sky Data Problems Compendium version 6.0 | Markopolo | 1/1/10 6:14 PM | Let me start by congratulating Google for providing us all with a remarkable browser of the Sky...all the functionality of Google Earth (or most of it), with add-ons like various layers of interest with links to additional information.

| Re: Sky Data Problems Compendium version 6.0 | Markopolo | 1/11/10 12:01 AM | As often happens when I'm working with Google Earth (or Sky), I found an important resource completely serendipitously: The University of Michigan hosts a webpage HERE which is an authoritative, definitive explanation for all kinds of oddities which |

| Re: Sky Data Problems Compendium version 6.0 | Markopolo | 5/1/10 12:11 PM | Thanks, Diane. It is a nice one, and was already included in my .kmz collection at the bottom of the first post. I'll take more if you find them, though, I'm sure I haven't catalogued every little problem with the GSky data, probably never will. As a |

| Re: Sky Data Problems Compendium version 6.0 | Markopolo | 4/10/11 9:37 AM | Thanks for adding this at the bottom of this thread, it's the right place to put it. But if you check the .kmz file at the bottom of the first post, you'll see that this was already noted as a "Red Transparent Rectangle" in the Sky Data Problems Comp |

I'll take a look in a day or so when I'm back in service, but, from just looking at your screenshot, I'd guess it's either a background star poorly rep |

| Re: Sky Data Problems Compendium version 6.0 | Markopolo | 4/26/11 1:47 PM | Got it, thanks, ETX. I added it to the collection. FWIW, my guess is that it's a satellite - they frequently present a "wiggly" appearance which is related to the rotation of the satellite as it passes through the field of view of the telescope in a |

| Re: Sky Data Problems Compendium version 6.0 | Gregg1956 | 4/30/11 10:42 PM | I have some items of interest. These aren't additions or corrections, just some positive ID's from the scientists at SDSS. 3.416917°, 7.347723° "Airplane Trail!"

I'd seen that similar pattern of <green> <red> space <blue> elsewhere, didn't know the reason for it. Trying to figure out the how and why of this, without knowing exactly how and why, is sort of like Toto pulling back the cur |

| Re: Sky Data Problems Compendium version 6.0 | Insight of the Universe | 5/30/11 5:59 AM | Have you noticed that the circuit boards are in a circular pattern with one or two strays here and there? _________________________ |
| Re: Sky Data Problems Compendium version 6.0 | Markopolo | 5/30/11 1:55 PM | Of course I've noticed that they are in a circular pattern, I'm the guy who created the 400+ placemarks for each one of them. I've spent HOURS staring at them, and all the other various kinds of data glitches. There is a regular pattern in their s |

| Re: Sky Data Problems Compendium version 6.0 | Gregg1956 | 6/16/11 10:08 AM | Markopolo- I believe this (from ETX's kmz) is GJ 866 C -- Star in double system but I'm not 100% certain. Using Aladin there is no image at the point where Simbad shows an ID. Gregg |
| Re: Sky Data Problems Compendium version 6.0 | Markopolo | 6/16/11 1:21 PM | Yup, GJ 866 came up in the correct coordinates, and has EXTREMELY high proper-motion. BTW, GJ 866C would be the 3rd star in the multiple-star system called GJ 866. I'll add it to the collection in the "HPM" category. Thanks, ETX, for finding it. If y |

| Re: Sky Data Problems Compendium version 6.0 | Markopolo | 6/16/11 4:44 PM | It has the appearance of another HPM star, but it didn't show up in NED or SIMBAD, so I can't positively identify it. This one will go into the HPM folder with a question mark. |
| Re: Sky Data Problems Compendium version 6.0 | Gregg1956 | 6/16/11 7:54 PM | It is indeed an HPM... 2MASS J01380110-6029559 -- High proper-motion Star |
