I am having trouble getting charts to print if they have Greek letter designations. What are the naming conventions that the VSP uses? I got Beta Persei to print as B Per, but Eta Aquilae and Delta Cephei I have not been able to figure out.
Hi Charles,
There is a table that gives the format used by AAVSO for Greek letter names here:
http://www.aavso.org/greek-letters#greeknames
And the web page explaing why it is this way is here:
http://www.aavso.org/greek-letters
It's actually all on one page.
Cheers,
