Hello my name is Kristoffer and I have made a spreadsheet in MS Excel to compare star-data.

This filesize is about 15 mb (4,5mb zip-packed)

I need some help try it out. Testing.

I have not taken any astronomy class or something like that. So im not 100% sure the formulas i've made (looking them up on the internet) are correct. I have not set any password on thiss spreadsheet, feel free to use it how you want.

I hope you like this sheet.

Some of the functions:

> Bayer, Flamesteed, HD, Propper names included
> Search function
> Compare star data
> HR-diagram
> Downscale distances
> Travel to the stars function
> Move stars function
> Add star to database function
> Edit database

- Bayer/Flamesteed Name
- Short name
- HD catalogue name
- Variable
- Binary
- Visible Magnitude
- Distance
- Right Accencion
- Declination
- Spectral type(s)
- Absolute Magnitude
- Bolometric Magnitude
- Absolute Visual Magnitude
- Luminosity
- Bolometric Luminosity
- Color/Startype
- Mass
- Radii
- Volume
- B-V Color index

Some known problems:

If you have an old computer you can suffer some loadingtimes when calculating all data.

Dear HerrÅberg.

Welcome to the board. I have moved this thread to the "astronomical observing" part of the board, as I think it fits there better, and you will not go under in the general astronomy posts.

Hope you get some replies.
