Below is a table of stars that do not correspond to the current WDS information on them.
The WDS column gives the discoverer's name for the star, the last observed date, the magnitudes of the stars, their position angle in degrees and separation in arc minutes.
The next four columns give listings of stars found within a 30" box of the WDS position. The top line given the catalog number of the star, followed by it's J2000 position, and finally its visual magnitude. Multiple stars in a given catalog are listed in the same table cell.
Note that the UCAC4 listing is only of stars brighter than 12mv. The name of a star is augmented with it's UCAC4 "type", which gives the reliability of the listing, and APASS indicates that the AAVSO visual magnitude has been used as the magnitude.
The final 2 columns list what I found looking at the wikisky.org's copy of the DSS2 all sky survey plates and through my C-8 in my backyard observatory.
A dash in a column entry means there was no star found at that location or that the data is missing.
All coordinates are J2000.
