Dipper

Isn't Procyon a member of the Dipper cluster, like Sirius and Alphecca and all but two of the stars in the Big Dipper in Ursa Major? --Eric Forste (Talk) 03:06, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

See [1]. Procyon does not seem to be a member. Sirius itself is apparently likely not a member. The research cited in the link is from Jeremy King et al., Clemson University, 2003. -- Curps 04:24, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Astrology is not astronomy

The "meanings" of various asters in astrology should be put somewhere else, their place is not in an astronomy article!

MOST findings overstated?

There's some evidence that the MOST results about the pulsations were at the least, overstated - there may have been other instrumental effects contributing to the non-detection. See [2], [3] and [4]. Chaos syndrome 21:31, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, i agree. I think those three references should be added to the page. But I must declare that I am a coauthor on two of those papers you cite. I am new to Wiki editing and am unsure whethe it is appropriate for me to do it. Advice? thanks Timb66 23:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

check semi major axis...

i believe it is incorrect. its approximate average should read 4.271" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.146.153.229 (talk) 06:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

ocilliations controversey

just under this heading, there is a phrase "however i too went to the fair." Is this supposed to be there? It doesn't seem to make any sense in context.I don't want to edit it just in case Veronase 11:25, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

What is the correct pronunciation? Judging from the Greek stress placement, I am guessing pro-SIGH-on? -- Cinga (talk) 16:50, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Colour

Procyon ISN'T "yellow-tinged." Not in the actual sense. Compared to Vega, the standard, Procyon is 'yellow', but it's a white star that, in photographs, is "blue-tinged." 68Kustom (talk) 09:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
