NSVS vs. NSV

Bill J Gray Apr 2, 2002

Hi Roger,

Stars with numbers under 15000 are "real" NSV stars from the
original catalog. Those with greater numbers are "supplement"
stars from the NSV Supplement = NSVS.

To get the latter to show up, you have to use the "Extras...
Toggle User Datasets" function. The former are given under
"Display... Data Shown."

There is increasingly little logic in the entire setup here. After
I came up with the "user-added datasets" idea, it became the way
almost _all_ datasets are added to Guide. I am pondering some
sort of merger (at least from the user interface viewpoint) in which
all datasets would be controlled in some sort of consistent manner.
I've made a few steps in that direction (for example, a common
dialog for setting limiting magnitudes, labelling, color, fields
of view, etc.), but the question of how you control the display
of a given item in Guide is still not as simple as it ought to be.
