Cassiopeia, in KStars and in the Apollo 10 navigation chart

Navi (Gus Grissom’s star) is the middle star in the M/W/Σ asterism, as you can see in the upper right corner of John Young’s Apollo 10 navigation chart [1].

I noticed a problem when I read somewhere that an arrow from Navi through Ruchbah can be used as a pointer to the Perseids’ radiant.  At first I thought the writer was wrong, but a quick search turned up the attached evidence that KStars has its “Navi” label on the wrong star.

[1] See cropped screenshots attached, or see http://historical.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=6037&Lot_No=0&LotIdNo=12016 and look in the upper right corner.

Use IAU preferred names. While Tsih seems the most common name for Gamma Cassiopeiae, Navi is also associated from old space missions.

Epsilon Cassiopeiae was incorrectly name as Navi where it should be Segin.
