Lamont's star near the nucleus of Messier 31 (the Andromeda galaxy)

[edit]

Is Johann von Lamont the same "Lamont" of Lamont's star near the nucleus of Messier 31? This star (Lamont's star) is briefly mentioned in the SKY CATALOGUE 2000.0, Volume 2: Double Stars, Variable Stars and Nonstellar Objects (1985) and also in the DEEP-SKY NAME INDEX 2000.0 by Hugh C. Maddocks (1991). Those who still have the SKY & TELESCOPE of February 1968 should take a look at page 97 because it has a description of Lamont's star and its location near the centre of the Andromeda galaxy. Unfortunately I don't have SKY & TELESCOPES of the sixties (only those of the nineties). DannyCaes (talk) 08:50, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
