Help needed - adding new targets to database

[Moonstruck]

Robin,

Is there a way to add new targets to sharpcap’s go-to library? The pac-man nebula (NGC 281) isn’t there. If so, where can I find instructions on how to add new targets?

Hi,

set up a custom catalog file (the same as you can for the Deep Sky Image Annotation) and the targets will be used for both annotation and as part of the GOTO catalog - see https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Custom ... %20Objects

However, NGC281 is in the catalog, but listed as NGC0281 ( I guess all the low number ones have leading zeros, although I hadn't noticed that before).

cheers,

Robin

Ok, thanks Robin.
