Stellarium star numbers

[Davey-T]

Is there any way to get Stellarium to display SAO star numbers or failing that does anyone know where I can find a list that shows both.

Do you literally mean the SAO CAtalogue?

There are 258,996 of the damn things.

Might help but I can make little of it: SAO

Don't know about Stellarium but it can be added to CdC.

And Hallo Northern Sky (HNSKY). As default display.

Yes, or actually a cross reference between the two, my nice Meade hand box has sensible Hip numbers but my damned annoying iOptron handbox has SAO numbers.

Sky Safari has an excellent cross reference.

I have Sky Safari Pro 4 on my Nexus 7, click on a star, click info and you get a nice cross ref list of

all the cat numbers.

I know this will not help with Stellarium but it's a great app and it's on offer.

Thanks Mike, that'll do fine.

Stellarium can show HIP numbers only (excludes the Flamsteed designations of course).
