Hi,
I am looking for a way to quickly display some "pretty picture" from an object in my target list and / or in the interactive atlas.
I tried the "download DSS image" options and several of the available download sources there, but I didn't find any pictures in the repositories that gives me some idea how the object looks in RGB.
Is there any simple way that I haven't seen?
Wouldn't it be some idea for a feature in the interactive atlas to enable via a button some sort of sky survey image data, like in stellarium (Digitized Sky Survey (TOAST) button), which gives you some idea of the sky region/object.
Some good example is the "Deep Sky Compendium" from Gary Imm: it is an excel list with several deep sky objects. If you move the mouse over some list item, a "pretty picture preview" is visible, that would be great in ST4 too:
Thanks,
Markus
