Errata: Had the RA and DEC of 2009B incorrect
(copied for the entry for 2009A ), error persisted for
about an 3 hours before Pepe Manteca noticed it....
Errata :
2009/12/19 - Had the type of 2009mj
marked as type Ia. This should have been 2009mh
Found by Frank Serduke. This is my 6th errata for the year (a new personal
record I'm not proud of).
2009/11/15 - The icon for
Nova M31 2009-11b
never got updated, and a few links did not resolve correctly.
Thanks to those that found these errors for me.
2009/10/04 Declination of 2009jg
was 13 degrees, should have been 18 degrees (was correct on finder charts).
error persisted for 3 days.
