hmm that only gives you about 9 bytes per star...not including the memory used to store the program...

It felt like 5000and I never actually counted - the 5000 figure comes from my hazy memory. In actual fact, I may have referenced Flamsteed's star catalogue which (after a quick Google) "only" lists about the 3000 or so visible from Britain.
The program was probably only 3-4kB max.
9 bytes per star could probably get 5000 into the remaining 44kB with some trick data encoding and judicious rounding, but I wasn't into that kind of thing.
Good sanity check there though :)
