173:"...spectral type A8VnkA6". First of all, we have not been given a link to anything that explains the concept of spectrum or type, so this is probably the place to do it. Second, WTF is A8VnkA6?? This seems like gibberish even by the arcane standards of spectrum analysis. Can we give readers something more meaningful? Related to this, it is a bit odd to be told that the second star is "another white main sequence star" when we were told neither of these things about the first. 42: 165:
The article appears nuetral, stable and relatively well-written. Images appear in order, but given that every now and then we have to go round a loop with someone about Till Credner's images, you might consider adding a note on the image page itself, with a link to where Credner explains the status

Small stuff mostly, and hopefully easily sorted. Interesting assemblage of exoplanets. Soon i think we will have discovered so many that it will become a challenge to filter the most significant for the constellation articles...
243:"had recorded its Right Ascension one hour too small." this sounds somehow ungrammatical to me, but i'm having trouble working out what would be better. Not sure if the issue is just the word "small", or it's something else. 288:
a note - Bayer and lacaille would simply give two stars very close to each other the same designation with no modifier. It was left to later astronomers such as Gould to designate Eta, Etaetc.
276:"Lacaille named two neighbouring stars Eta Pictoris." How can someone name two stars by one name? Is the point that he named a star something, and it turned out to be a binary? If so, reword. 80: 70: 170:
I don't know what culmination is, but interestingly it is not mentioned in the Triangulum FA, but is included here. Not an issue for this GA obviously!
47: 156: 75: 396: 401:- but I've found another study questioning this so might remove for the time being as a bit of a mess that I will have to unravel 181:
sorted main sequence issue - alpha is as well, I just neglected to put it in..put footnote and linked to spectral type now.....

reworded - I need to read the source again to get my head around it....I think it needs a bit more info.

How amazing - a planet potentially 11 billion years old!
