I'm using the HYG star database v3 from: https://github.com/astronexus/HYG-Database I compare the star constellations it reports against what I calculate from the star RA/DEC it lists. When I try this against all stars in the database, I find 25 disagreements about which constellation contains the star. Another person found 3 disagreements. See: https://github.com/astronexus/HYG-Database/issues/21 For now, I'm testing only the stars brighter than mag 4.890, which eliminates all the disagreements, and still gets me over 1000 test cases. Also, now I'm verifying ephemeris file and star database checksums whether or not they have just been downloaded. The idea is to catch corruption or unexpected changes each time I run the unit test.
