Historical supernovae stars

Registered by Alexander Wolf

On russian astronomical forum a member Elentirmo in discussion about Stellarium proposed include into planetarium support historical supernovae. I quote of proposed from forum: Propose include in Stellarium disappearance before a certain time nebulae, left over from historical supernovae. And in the moments when these supernovae were seen on the spot nebulae to appear very bright stars. Schedules are laid out and known supernova, brightness, too. It would be interesting from a historical point of view, for lectures on the history of astronomy.
