What does this mean?

I have The Sky (free version that I got awhile back with my old scope)) by Celestron, but can not find the meaning of the abbrevition in any of the guides etc, which I will put at the end of this message. I hope some one can illusidate me. It may be simple for you but I need lots of help lol. So with out delay here they are:-
Parallax 33,600 mas. 2976119 pc
(Maybe 'mas' = Micro ArcSeconds )
Magnitudes bt 2.003, vt 2.005

So; what is the meaning of the abbrev.'s of :-
" mas " and " bt " as well as " vt " ????

Thanks for the help. StevenA
