Hello everyone, I'm new and very excited to be working on Stellarium! I
have an idea for my first activity.
Right now, in the Sky and Viewing options "Sky" tab, there is a single
slider for "Nebulas". Not only is the term "Nebulas" a little misleading,
I believe, but it isn't specific enough. Many times when I use Stellarium
there are moments where I only want the galaxies, or globulars, to have an
icon over them. The "Nebulas" slider turns on all deep-sky objects and it
can be too overwhelming!
I'm firmly believe deep sky objects are awesome enough to warrent their own
little sub-section of the "Sky" tab. This section would include perhaps 4
different sliders: "Galaxies", "Globular Clusters", "Nebulas", and "Other".
This way, you have more control.
I also think that the sliders should be ticked and a label show their
current value, because I'm not even sure what their value currently
represents. (I assume apparent magnitude)
All in all, I think it'd be cool to enable this sort of thinking: "I want
to see all the Globular clusters with at most an apparent magnitude of 5,
and galaxies 4.8 because they're a little harder to see with my current set
of binoculars." (or something like that)
Is this a good idea?
