[Kstars-devel] NAN value for Venus Magnitude

[Andrew Buck]

I was using KStars tonight and I noticed the current magnitude given for
Venus is "nan".  According to the "About" in the help menu I am running
KStars 1.2.5 (Using KDE 3.5.9), sorry about the old version, I need to
get on the dev version before too long.  My location and time
information is as follows:

observer location: Fargo, ND
time: 19 May, 2008     LT: 23:54:32

Not sure if the problem lies in the database or the code but I thought I
would pass it along to you in case it helps.  Moving ahead a month or so
doesn't seem to change the nan value so I don't know if it will keep
calculating nan's after its done it once during program execution or if
it really is an issue with the database or what.  I checked all of the
other planets to see if they were affected by the same issue and none of
them seems to be, at least at this time.

On a separate note however I did notice that Pluto is listed twice in
the "Find Object" window.
