suggestion : personnal catalog

#1

Post by Opmc73 »

Hi Robin,

I don't know if it is easy to do or not, but I was thinking that when we do goto target at RA/dec , as we can also enter a name , it could be fine to have the possibiliy to add that entry in a personnal catalog (with a add button) so next time we could find the object with the regular goto catalog fuction in order not to be obliged to reenter everything by hand each time.

kind regards
Olivier

Hi,

did you know that you can create a custom catalog of your own (in a CSV-like file format). That can contain any targets that you want to use, then drop the file into the right directory and SharpCap will load those catalogs as well as the default - see https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Custom ... %20Objects

I know that's not quite what you are thinking of with your suggestion, but maybe it is close enough?

cheers,

Robin

Yes I know that , it was just that sometime it could be pratical to create that entry directly from sharpcap .
