Dynamic Deep Sky Annotation
Posted: Wed Nov 15, 2023 6:19 pm
Hi Everybody,
I was hoping there was a way to dynamically add catalogues/items to DSA via scripting? I know there is a SharpCap.Catalog object that reports 229 items. This seems to be the Messier, Caldwell and Solar System objects. However, I have Bright Stars, NGC IC and a custom catalogue ticked and they don't seem to show up.
As you may have guessed, I wanted to add one or more custom objects programmatically, in a similar manner to the 'Paste Custom Object Info'. The items can be added dynamically based on the current FOV. This would be a similar concept to CDC's Aladin application but over a live image.
Many thanks.
Pete
