Charts and Photometry Tables for T CrB
Finding charts with comparison stars and related multicolor photometry tables for different scales of T CrB have been created for your convenience. The comparison star magnitudes reflect the revision of 02 July 2024 AND the July 16 re-introduction of the 102 comparison star on the B and D charts.
