I am being 100% helpful. Just because you do not like reality does not mean it is not helpful.

Ask yourself, in all honesty, how is my offer to sell you Polaris any worse than that website you are asking about. Serious question. You know that it's not official either way, and you know that Polaris is in the north and easy to observe. My offer meets every requirement you laid out with flying colors. If my offer sounds absurd to you, then ask yourself why some other website would be better.

What I'm asking is if this particular website is actually a fucking scam, or is just selling the process.

Some of these sites are legitimate scams where they literally make up a star, and send you some bullshit charts.

Some of them are legit, where they actually, albeit not officially, "name" a star after your thing and send you the info on how to see it. And you can actually look at it. It's not officially named but it is a sweet gesture.

I'm asking if this particular site is bullshit or not. I'm not asking about how you feel about star registries. Im not asking about the star itself. I'm asking if this site is an actual bullshit scam, or just a place unofficially naming stars and giving info on how to look at them.

None of them use stars you can see with the naked eye. There are actually only around 5000 stars visible to the human eye, and that's taking both hemispheres into account.

Other posters are contradicting this

The only comment I can see that could possible be contradicting this is talking about using a telescope. I'm talking about naked eye visibility because I assumed you were as well.

I will sell you Polaris. I will be selling you the process. I will not make up a star, it's definitely going to be Polaris.
