It should, in fact, be GSC 3431.1249 which is east and not north of star 3. The position of the correct comparison is given by Brian as: RA 9h22m53.3s DEC +51 01'28" (2000). An updated e-chart is given below with the revised sequence reference of SN/039.02. If anyone has used the old star 'Z' (to date we have no estimates logged with this star) then please amend it to 'Y' in your estimate but in future please do not use this star at all. \\\\\\SN 1999by b in NGC 2841 P,09h 21.9m +51 00' (2000) S,400,6,S -C, 9.3644, 51.0017,2000 O,200,200,15,? -L,L,SN -T,SN Seq: Corwin et.al. -S,SN/039.02 -G,220,220,400,150,140 M,6,93,42 -L,L,61 M,7,124,18 M,9,324,335 R,8.48,257,192,3 R,11.07,198,195,E,B R,12.62,296,186,Z R,13.51,193,213,F R,13.77,210,198,G,R R,14.19,216,187,a,R R,14.72,223,265,b R,15.45,231,254,c M,10,96,20,,38,373,12,348,58 M,11,193,80,375,55 M,12,63,168,71,263,78,123,78,325,223,350,355,53,359,269 M,13,45,387,127,145,7,149,116,274,253,26 M,13,245,33,130,276,193,304,238,368,243,384,255,107,218,86 M,13,88,344,104,331,112,111,299,343,339,157,340,379 M,13,334,382,267,159 M,14,9,59,262,75,15,123,156,375,169,24,31,71 M,14,94,324,267,252,184,140,155,61,206,16,288,2,188,280 M,14,49,106,20,246,40,359,128,57,204,60,231,58 M,14,154,286,242,344,169,245,264,72,65,198,21,305,114,12 M,14,233,38,264,397,152,246,155,121,244,280,172,11,99,391 M,14,115,334,99,352,172,311,157,348,331,148,375,12 M,14,338,292,374,303,357,306,372,180,227,322,332,76,338,186 M,14,369,351,375,372,359,87 M,15,123,23,262,124,74,77,237,361,247,379,65,239,162,189 M,15,,386,57,129,91,314,14,91,37,113,67,165,24,289 M,15,233,78,223,143,92,1,101,120,,19,75,151 M,15,56,277,100,230,161,311,112,342,65,295,228,338,276,327 M,15,241,338,85,367,312,29,331,76,361,148,394,47,193,43 M,15,273,342,141,307,380,152,384,31,323,332,284,323,334,51 M,15,382,176,40,314,198,377,283,383,122,386 E,140 ////// Basic chart automatically generated by CHART ver 1.6 Guy M Hurst
