Hi all,
I've been happily doing the Binocular Program for nearly a decade now. Every year or so, I do a chart audit; that is, making sure that I haven't misplaced any charts for stars that belong to the program. (For some reason, I'm good at misplacing charts. I seem to have lost T Cet and the entire constellation of Cygnus over the past twelve months!)
Is there any value for a visual observer to reprint charts after a certain interval....say every five or ten years? Some of my charts date from 2013. Do we find a lot of errors in comparison stars over a decade, or are these things pretty set?
