Talk:Astronomical catalog

Astronomical catalog and Star catalogue
Can any one please tell me the difference between an Astronomical catalog and a Star catalogue? I found that most of Star catalogue includes astronomical objects other than stars also. I am confused with these terms.

Is Astronomical catalog is the best term to denote all the types of calatolgues in astronomy? Usage of the term star catalogue might have got historical reasons! --Shijualex (talk) 13:22, 18 October 2008 (UTC)


 * This idea was later discussed in more detail at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Astronomy. That is where I made a counterproposal last week. A few days ago I added some bits to the text here, distinguishing stars from other cataloged objects. I have not gone ahead with my idea of purifying the list here, removing all star catalogs from the list of historical catalogs, and I no longer think that's a good idea.
