Re: [guide-user] real stars and many catalogs

Andrea Pelloni Feb 6, 2004

I agree with you, Alex, the idea of different colours is interesting.
Let me make an example.
The UCAC-2 stars are shown with their symbol (changeable at will, if you
wish), but this has a little problem: when you go to higher levels the star
dots become bigger, so that at a certain point, if the symbol is small, the
star dot covers it, and I don't recognize what is the UCAC-2 star. On the
contrary, if the symbol is big enough to be seen at e.g. level 10, at lower
levels the symbol become enormous, covering other stars and generating even
more confusion.
A color star code may be the solution.
Bill, is it possible?
By and thank you.
