The Honjii Star Registry

Have you heard of the International Star Registry? Now that gift giving season is upon us I’m hearing their ads everywhere. I have a star named after me. A guy I was dating gave it to me as a birthday gift several years ago. I have the paperwork from the ISR to prove it.
For fifty-four to a hundred and fifty four bucks you can name a star for yourself or give one as a gift. For your money the cheapest package gets you:
A beautiful 12″ X 16″ full color parchment certificate personalized with the star name, date and coordinates.
A Personalized 12″ X 16″ sky chart containing the star name, star date, the constellation and the location circled in red where the star is in the sky.
A booklet on astronomy written by a professional astronomer with additional sky charts.
A letter of congratulations/memorial for the recipient.
Here’s the thing…The International Star Registry has no authority to name stars. Suckers People hear the ads and the official sounding name and pay a bunch of money for some paper. Since apparently anyone can claim the right to name stars, as a public service, I’m offering the Honjii Star Registry.
That’s right, now you can name a star for yourself or as a gift absolutely FREE! Does it get any better than that? This deal is too good to pass up and they’re going fast so you’ll have to act quickly. See the chart below to see the stars that are still available. Choose the star you want, your desired name, and you’ll receive an official email from the Honjii Star Registry that includes the star chart with a red circle around your star indicating the name you’ve chosen and your official certificate of ownership.

Cat would like to request Regulus, and if possible the entire constellation of Leo.

Cat, I’m so sorry but it seems Regulus was taken by email request late last night. If I had a nickel for everyone who requested Regulus I’d be rich. Do you have a second choice?
If you’d like to have the constellation Leo you will have to wait until the launch of The Honjii Constellation Registry. I’ll put your name at the top of the waiting list for Leo so you’ll be sure to get it.
