[edit] Numberstars parameter

What is this parameter supposed to represent? Thanks, JYolkowski // talk 23:00, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

The number of Bayer/Flamsteed designated star in the constellation apparently. Can't see how it's useful. I too would like to know what the "number of main stars" parameter means.--JyriL ^talk 02:05, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
