How do i add more objects to the catalogue so they appear in the push-to?
For instance ngc 3621 was not there and so as others.
Thanks

Re: extend catalogue
Hi,
you can see how to create and use custom catalogs here : https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Custom ... %20Objects
However, NGC3621 is in the default catalog (I just checked), so I suspect that it didn't appear in the list of targets because one of the filters on altitude, brightness, etc was active. Perhaps it was simply below the horizon at the time?
cheers,
Robin

Re: extend catalogue
Thanks Robin. I was precisely studying this right now. I think no filter was applied except the FWHM. I will test again.admin wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 1:45 pm Hi,

Re: extend catalogue
just checked push-to and now it appears there. I previously reloaded catalogues, IDK if it changed anything or it was only my awkwardness during the live stream.

Re: extend catalogue
Hi,
I think the most likely cause would be the minimum altitude filter as shown here : https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Choosi ... %20Catalog
Note that the first dropdown of common targets as shown here - https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Choosing%20a%20Target - only contains the Messier, Caldwell and Solar System objects, not NGC/IC, so you need to press the 'Full Catalog' button to find NGC/IC targets
cheers,
Robin

Re: extend catalogue
Thanks. Yes, could be that. Very good info on the links i didn't know yet. I will explore it more next available night. Good to see the pushto also has that capability since i use it most of the time. The sharpcap platesolver is now my preferred as well since now is working like a charm.
