I just checked the weather and found out that we're supposed to have a clear
night tonight. I fired up XEphem 3.5.1, went to the Sky View, and discovered
that the stars I use to align my DSCs have been replaced with their formal
names rather than their common names. I'm lost! Is there a way to have the
stars represented by their common names rahter than their formal names? I.E.
Alberio rather than Cyg Beta2? Yes, yes, I know I should learn both names
but it will take this old dog a while to learn new names.

I've uploaded the YBS.edb from version 3.4 which was heavier on the
common names. Replace the one from 3.5, or name it something else and
load whichever you like. You can load them both at once but the Sky
View labeling will look ugly where they overlap.
