The attached file (in zipped excel format) is now available.
Over 230 objects listed with spectral details etc.
Observing Plan for AstroPlanner Software
Spectral classes of all the stars and DSO's referenced in James B Kaler's book " Stars and their spectra"; 1997 paperback edition.
I've also added some comments where appropriate.Some faint white dwarf info has been omitted, as have some stars which could not be located in SIMBAD (http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad)
An illustration of a star's spectrum in the book is shown by a * and page number. i.e.*p168.
In addition to Kaler's stars I've also added data on 20 stars brighter than 10 mag, used by the ESO for spectral reference.(www.eso.org/observing/standards/spectra/stanlis.html (http://www.eso.org/observing/standards/spectra/stanlis.html))
Additional G2 type reference stars have also been listed from Barry Malpas' lists and others.
Corrections and amendments, contact me.
