Bayer Star Catalog

(A to L) (M to V)

Bayer's Earth Catalog:
The accuracy of the distances are generally accurate within 40 light years, within 1 light year. Around 400 light years, are within 10 light years of accuracy. Around 1000 light years it is nothing more then Educated guesses.

I have 2 great resources for Star distances. The Book "Night Watch" and "Field Guide to the Night Sky". Each disagree on distances so I will take the lower number as fact to help with Time in space.
