Hmmmm.....if they don't provide any type of star catalog reference number
for the star, I'd suspect that they just might be selling coordinates
instead of stars.
>From what I've seen of the International Star Registry, they do use catalog
numbers associated with the stars they "sell". Last time I looked one up, I
think it was around 11th magnitude.
