Hi Alex, Fabien,
I think there would still be a place for W Steinicke's updated NGC
catalogue as an option even with an improved default DSO catalogue compiled
from simbad/HyperLeda. For example, the latest NGC lists distance/redshift
information and corrects various mistakes present in older versions of the
NGC/IC catalogue.
Alex, what did you have in mind for code refactor? I'd prefer to merge my
branch with trunk first if possible.
Further to Fabien's suggestion of a "top 10 popular DSOs", I had a couple
of ideas:
1. a bookmark/favourite feature (this could communicate with a server to
make a global favourites list),
2. seasonal lists. I have a lot of old astro mags which have monthly sky
tours (mainly N hemisphere).
Thanks,
Thomas
