Convert plan to catalog?   Message List

Re: [deepskysoftware] Re: Convert plan to catalog?

David, I have converted the Deepmap600_DSO.pln into a catalog. I will send you the info and files later to do this. Its really very easy. If you want to send me the other plan you want to convert, I'll make the files for you.

Again thanks. That is what I do today. It is useful that altitude is
the one filter that applies to plans also. But why not magnitude or
position filters?

Anyway, you can see that if you have more than one criteria for
filtering your plan, that manually creating sub-plans for each is a
task better done by the computer (in an SQL statement for example).

It seems to go against the grain of the program to make an observing list of hundreds of objects; though lots of people are doing it if you look through the...

David, DeepSky does have the ability to filter out what you want. Go to the filter sections and play with the settings, read the help files. I have several...

Thanks for reading my question. I agree that if you work with one of the built-in Deepsky catalogs there are some nice filters available. However, you cannot...

David, When you open the plan in DeepSky it will only show you whats visible at your set location and date. If I open the DeepMap600_DSO.pln only 214 of the...

Sounds like I need to make some enhancements to the plans to allow all of the same filters as with no plans. This is definitely possible so I will add it to...
