Detailed Description

Each Asterism consists of a list of stars identified by their abbreviation and Hipparcos catalogue numbers (taken from file: asterismship.fab), another entry in file asterism_names.eng.fab with the defining abbreviated name and translatable englishName (translation goes into nameI18).
