dewlineTurns out that there's an issue SIMBAD and Galaxy Map involving confusion of those two stars.
And a workaround to make sure you're looking at the correct profile.
Here's what I got when I tried to get Bayer-Mu Aquilae. Bit of a shock there.
When I went looking in Wikipedia, though, it reminded me of Mu Aql's Flamsteed number: 38 Aql.
Why bring up Mu Aquilae? It's tagged in ST: Star Charts as Tyberius. Why it shows up in that book, I'm not sure at the moment. It reads like a name I ought to have heard in an episode of TOS or Enterprise...
