Does anyone have or know of references for the following catalogs formatted ready to include as custom extensions to PixInsight’s built-in astrometric annotation catalogs? Mainly southern hemisphere catalogs, but also others:
Caldwell
Collinder
Gum
Melotte
Minkowski (planetary)
Sandqvist
Sandqvist Lindroos
Trumpler
Several of these are so commonly referenced these days, it would be great to include some of these (and maybe others?) to the AnnotateImage script out of the box.
Thank you,
Scott Stirling
P.S. here’s a Trumpler reference: https://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?threads/digital-trumpler-catalog-anyone.14584/
I’ll propose: collect ready-to-import and free-to-use, formatted for PixInsight’s AnnotateImage in a public, open source version controlled location. If anyone has already started such a project or like it please give me a heads up.
