Globular Clusters and Open Clusters

Hi !

This is the source:
http://home.arcor.de/hpj/Tabellen/Tabellen.html
Guess, the autor made very good work. Really a nice astro-site, just in german, but key information is international.

Then I went to www.seds.org and added distance, star count and age data...thats it.

But I got a remotely related Celestia question:
I`ve got a download of Hipparcos data, which contains parallax data for about 112000 stars.
Now there is a Celestia data file with 2 million stars, including positional data. Where does that come from ?
I though only Hipparcos data provides somehow trustable distance data....
