Bright?

edit

This template is supposed to refer to bright stars. Generally bright is defined as naked eye visible, but I see that for purposes of this template it is defined as absolute magnitude greater than 8.5. Is that arbitrary, or was there some reason for the selection?--Imzogelmo (talk) 00:38, 14 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
