Constellations are located with a RA/DEC mid-point that is unrelated to stars actually. That mid-point is used to render the constellation art in the sky representation. SkyQPainter::drawConstellationArtImage only uses EquatorialToHorizontal to compute the position of the image, thus locate the drawing in J2000. So, yes, bug confirmed for me. |
