Show UCAC4 stars in the Deep Sky Annotation

[Jean-Francois]

Hello Robin,

The problem is back or you forget to correct it

See the message: viewtopic.php?p=44196#p44196

It is sometimes confusing to see something that is not selected.

Hi Jean-Francois,

well, I thought I had done something about that, but maybe I didn't catch all the possibilities - I will check!

Hello Robin,

I test with the version 4.1.12606. It is now no trace of old targets.
Thanks.

Hello,
just some "nice to have" idea for this script (it is something I need):
I need some star search on this catalog without "annotating" all the sky; i.e if I need to find the star UCAC4 531-025865 I don't want that all the sky is annotated but I need a cross just only on the star I'm looking for.
Maybe it's possible and I don't know how.

Thank you

Hello,

You can sort (click on "ID") and search a particular star from the list.
When you click on it, it will be highlighted in yellow.
But only after a plate solve on the image where you have the target visible.
So, you need first to perform a GOTO to the target coordinates.

SharpCap has not the UCAC4 catalogue. My script uses the binary catalogue and it shows only the stars visible on the actual image of the camera.
It would need some changes in my script for adding the search of only one target star.
I modified the C-code from the original directory of the UCAC4 catalogue. It does not search from the #number, but from the coordinates.
