Column title | Description |
No. | The number used to identify stars in navigation publications and star charts.[Note 1] |
Common name | The name of the star commonly used navigation publications and star charts. |
Bayer designation | Another name of the star which combines a Greek letter with the possessive form of its constellation's Latin name. |
Etymology of common name |
Etymology of the common name.[1] |
SHA | Sidereal hour angle (SHA), the angular distance west of the vernal equinox. |
Dec. | Declination, the angular distance north or south of the celestial equator. |
App. magnitude |
Apparent magnitude, an indicator of the star's brightness. |
The table of navigational stars provides several types of information. In the first column is the identifying index number, followed by the common name, the Bayer designation, and the etymology of the common name. Then the star's approximate position, suitable for identification purposes, is given in terms of declination and sidereal hour angle, followed by the star's magnitude. The final column presents citations to the sources of the data, The American Practical Navigator and the star's entry at the SIMBAD database, a project of the Strasbourg Astronomical Data Center or CDS.

Andromeda |
358 | N 29° | Andromeda consists of fifteen stars and lies between Triangulum and Cassiopea. It contains one navigational star, Alpheratz, which has been portrayed as the head of Andromeda, the princess in the Greek legend of Perseus, who was chained to a rock to be eaten by the sea monster Cetus.[2] #1 Alpheratz (α Andromedae) was originally named for the navel of the Pegasus.[1][3]
Spreading thy long white arms all night in the heights of the aether, Hard by thy sire and the hero thy spouse while near thee thy mother Sits in her ivory chair as she plaits ambrosial tresses All night long thou wilt shine ;" -Kingsley, Andromeda |

#17 Canopus (α Carinae) is named after a city of ancient Egypt.[1][26] Canopus has generally been imagined as part of a rudder of the ship Argo.[27] Theories for the star's etymology include it being named after chief pilot of Menelaos's fleet or a derivation from the Egyptian phrase Kahi Nub, or "Golden Earth".[28] |

Table
editKey to the table | |
---|---|
Column title | Description |
No. | The number used to identify stars in navigation publications and star charts.[Note 1] |
Common name | The name of the star commonly used navigation publications and star charts. |
Bayer designation | Another name of the star which combines a Greek letter with the possessive form of its constellation's Latin name. |
Etymology of common name |
Etymology of the common name.[1] |
SHA | Sidereal hour angle (SHA), the angular distance west of the vernal equinox. |
Dec. | Declination, the angular distance north or south of the celestial equator. |
App. magnitude |
Apparent magnitude, an indicator of the star's brightness. |
The table of navigational stars provides several types of information. In the first column is the identifying index number, followed by the common name, the Bayer designation, and the etymology of the common name. Then the star's approximate position, suitable for identification purposes, is given in terms of declination and sidereal hour angle, followed by the star's magnitude. The final column presents citations to the sources of the data, The American Practical Navigator and the star's entry at the SIMBAD database, a project of the Strasbourg Astronomical Data Center or CDS.

Andromeda |
358 | N 29° | Andromeda consists of fifteen stars and lies between Triangulum and Cassiopea. It contains one navigational star, Alpheratz, which has been portrayed as the head of Andromeda, the princess in the Greek legend of Perseus, who was chained to a rock to be eaten by the sea monster Cetus.[2] #1 Alpheratz (α Andromedae) was originally named for the navel of the Pegasus.[1][3]
Spreading thy long white arms all night in the heights of the aether, Hard by thy sire and the hero thy spouse while near thee thy mother Sits in her ivory chair as she plaits ambrosial tresses All night long thou wilt shine ;" -Kingsley, Andromeda |

#17 Canopus (α Carinae) is named after a city of ancient Egypt.[1][26] Canopus has generally been imagined as part of a rudder of the ship Argo.[27] Theories for the star's etymology include it being named after chief pilot of Menelaos's fleet or a derivation from the Egyptian phrase Kahi Nub, or "Golden Earth".[28] |

Table
editKey to the table | |
---|---|
Column title | Description |
No. | The number used to identify stars in navigation publications and star charts.[Note 1] |
Common name | The name of the star commonly used navigation publications and star charts. |
Bayer designation | Another name of the star which combines a Greek letter with the possessive form of its constellation's Latin name. |
Etymology of common name |
Etymology of the common name.[1] |
SHA | Sidereal hour angle (SHA), the angular distance west of the vernal equinox. |
Dec. | Declination, the angular distance north or south of the celestial equator. |
App. magnitude |
Apparent magnitude, an indicator of the star's brightness. |
The table of navigational stars provides several types of information. In the first column is the identifying index number, followed by the common name, the Bayer designation, and the etymology of the common name. Then the star's approximate position, suitable for identification purposes, is given in terms of declination and sidereal hour angle, followed by the star's magnitude. The final column presents citations to the sources of the data, The American Practical Navigator and the star's entry at the SIMBAD database, a project of the Strasbourg Astronomical Data Center or CDS.

Andromeda |
358 | N 29° | Andromeda consists of fifteen stars and lies between Triangulum and Cassiopea. It contains one navigational star, Alpheratz, which has been portrayed as the head of Andromeda, the princess in the Greek legend of Perseus, who was chained to a rock to be eaten by the sea monster Cetus.[2] #1 Alpheratz (α Andromedae) was originally named for the navel of the Pegasus.[1][3]

#17 Canopus (α Carinae) is named after a city of ancient Egypt.[1][26] Canopus has generally been imagined as part of a rudder of the ship Argo.[27] Theories for the star's etymology include it being named after chief pilot of Menelaos's fleet or a derivation from the Egyptian phrase Kahi Nub, or "Golden Earth".[28] |
