[Kstars-devel] Magnitude of Mars

[Andrew Buck]

Hello again,

I was using Kstars tonight and I looked at the info/details for Mars.  I
noticed that the current visual magnitude for Mars is listed as 15.3
(March 18, 2008 23:04 US central time [GMT -5]) which is clearly
incorrect.  I'm not sure if this is an error in the database or in the
calculation which figures in distance, etc, but something is amiss.
