Hi, I'm creating a new thread as per Bogdan's suggestion.
I'm afraid I've been busy for a couple of months but I'd really like to complete this blueprint and merge with the main development trunk. I'm currently slightly stuck with the orientation of the nebulae, because North isn't always up, and in fact can change with screen position. I tried using the sPainter->getProjector() method to calculate the direction towards North but it only works for objects in the screen centre. (NOTE: I've just re-tested, so far it looks OK.) Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Also I'm not sure what these branches are for? Alex, I'm guessing this is your new integrated sky catalogue you discussed with Messier and Caldwell objects? > https://code.launchpad.net/~t-dennehey/stellarium/data-dev > https://code.launchpad.net/~alexwolf/stellarium/deep-sky I merged Alex's Deep Sky Markers branch into my own; I think he has merged it with trunk since then.
