Cees,

You make a very good point about using V-band magnitudes for the reference
stars. The AAVSO magnitudes are V unless otherwise noted. The magnitudes in
Stellarium are probably also V but I could not verify that.

Additionally, the brightness of comparison stars should be displayed to a
tenth (0.1) of a magnitude. The estimated satellite magnitude should also
be recorded to a tenth.
