I’d like to see a couple catalogs added to the Advanced Plate Solving and wondered whether there might be a way to add custom annotations and catalog objects, if not now then in the future?

two examples:
1. Maffei catalog of galaxies http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/galgrps/maffei.html

2. Stock catalog of star clusters http://www.stellar-journeys.org/cluster-stock-tour.htm

I'm sure there are others worth inclusion but those two are examples.

thank you,

Hi Scott,

this is a question for the PixInsight team, as this functionality comes directly from PixInsight. Last time I asked Juan for a new catalog apparently it was quite easy to do, so it's worth asking him!
