Reply To: Help needed with VSS database entry

Hi Duncan,
As Gary has alluded to, you need the fainter symbol in front of both the light estimate and the magnitude, so [P and [8.4.
With normal magnitude estimates an “=” is assumed, so just 8.4 means equals 8.4.
This is all to do with the way the database verifies the data, and can recalculate magnitudes when a sequence is updated.
Best wishes,
Andy
