[guide-user] Finding Objects

Paulo Cacella Jan 9, 2000

I don't know if it is a widespread necessity or only my own. Frequently,
when using some external (TDF) dataset I can't "search" an object because
the name is in a very specific way. Ex: Quasar 3C273 is only found when you
a search 3C273.1. Some catalogs use a weird number/signs identifications. I
believe that a good thing would be presenting a list of available objects
when we search a TDF file.Ex: How know if you need search Markarian 47 as
"Mrk47", "Mrk 47", "Markarian 47" or whatsoever.

What do you think about ?
