Hi All,
I'm sorry if I come down on the unpopular side, but I have to agree with Wanglese on this one.
I went to the page in question, and although it mentions the Sydney observatory's catalogue there is no real explanation to the layperson what this means. It may be in the fine print on the order form, but most people don't read that sort of stuff properly and many would not understand it. I think many people would be of the opinion that the star in question would be called what they named it, rather than it's catalogue number.
I really don't like the blurring of the lines here, it's OK to do something a bit dodgy (Les initially had doubts, hence he thought it was dodgy in the first place) as long as the cause is just? Ends justifying means are never strong arguments.
I can name one way of raising $100000, raise the admission price by $1 per person, not popular, but at least above board.
Cheers
Stuart
