From the article:
After the first few sessions, we asked the investigators to give us several star pairs, so if we were unable to catch one, we could move on to a different pairing.
They couldn't just give them a program which would tell them the apparent angular distance between any two celestial bodies? Or at least an almanac, calculator and a set of instructions?
