As of today, Stellarium on both my workstation PC and my server no longer show the Deep Sky surveys in the list. Has anyone experienced this? I’ve updated to the current version (25.2) and also downgraded to a version in between (24.2) that still shows the survey list on my remote rig’s PC.

You're the first person I've encountered with the same issue…

I have v 25.1 and have the Deep Sky Surveys (not that I have ever used them) so it must be something in the last update that has done it.

Happens every once in awhile for me as well. Server issue I believe.

Interesting, because if it was a server issue, one would expect a more wide spread impact, right?

Same issue here. Stopped showing since last night.

This is so broken, it just doesn’t work any more on any of my devices. I’m finding it hard to believe that I’m alone in this. Please, if you have any idea what to do to rectify having Stellarium load the surveys, I’d greatly appreciate you sharing that help!

Works on mine (23.3) although I don't know what to do with them. Are they supposed to show up somehow?

I get a full list of surveys on my Mac laptop, but only DSS coloured showing up on my Mac desktop. Both computers running 25.3

Even if Stellarium manages to load a full list, activating them in the check list doesn't actually display them anymore.
