In general, given two or more stars, then their singular combined
magnitude value (
M
) can be found from the equation given below.
Let:
m
n
= Magnitude of
n
th
star within a group of
N
stars
M
= Magnitude of all
N
stars combined into one value
The general equation used within the program for
N
combined stellar magnitudes may be expressed as:
