... I think what he means is how do you specify how bright an object has to be to get displayed and/or labelled. I don't use v3, so I don't know the answer. ...
... to be to ... Well, if so v3 has a nice filter in the configuration window under "Chart/coordinates - object filter". Here you can set limiting magnitude...
Hello! ... This did the trick, thank you. Maybe i installed a catalog later than NGC2000 who overwrote some files. Drawing Messier and NGC is good now, but...
I haven't received any ideas yet as to what could be my problem. Maybe just skychart for linux is not intended to operate directly telescopes and I have to...

John, Thanks for responding. So, which catalogs (accessible through CDC) are photometric catalogs? Also, if none is, are there good photometric catalogs...
Unfortunately I know almost nothing about photometry. You can find just about any catalog on Vizier, and convert them for CdC using CdC's catgen utility (see...
Has the address to Skyview changed? Whenever I try to load up an image (Online resources > Images > HEASARC Skyview) I receive the following error: Error:...
G. G, as John said, Cartgen allows just about any catalog to be generated for CdC. I suppose if you wanted it badly enough you could start working on it :-) I...
... It's the best for astrometric data, but read the description again- "astrometric" is listed before "photometric", so I'm not sure about the photometric...
... At least in v2.76, the "online resources" links to asteroids and comets, and also to images, and also to small subfields of large/deep catalogs: GSC, and ...
Gennady Tycho is accurate to 0.05 magnitudes for stars brighter than mag 10. But remember that you have to convert the magnitudes. Systematic errors probably...

Geoff, There are plenty of southern galaxies included in the PGC catalogue. The PGC catalogue is extracted from the HyperLEDA catalogue maintained at the...
