Hyperleda

Yes, I do have plans for that in version 4.2. But there is a caveat, and that is that the Hyperleda database, which SkyTools already uses, has many galaxies with very poor data. My previous experience is that if you only use the galaxies that you can say with confidence are real, you get far less than the total in the database. Maybe that has changed, we'll see, but I think the current database already shows the majority of the galaxies you can expect to reasonably image, except for certain areas or specific galaxies, where any number of things could lead to them not be present in the Hyperleda database or having been filtered out by an algorithm excluding the ones with poor data.
