Bug Description
In Stellarium Rigel Kent (Alpha Centauri) is represented Before Christ (BC) as a wide double star . In 4000 BC they are separated several degrees. Possibly the proper motions of both stars are not the same as it should be for a binary star. Are the coordinates (RA/DE) of Alpha1 still correct?
