Just had a tdf request re this latest version of said as just upped to
the CDS ftp holdings

ftp://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/pub/cats/II/277

Now, I was going to leave this one alone, as Guide comes with a built
in older version on the CDROMs, which has a built in Guide TDF, but
I've had half a request, so I've done a minimalistic one.

If nothing else it might help Bill save time by giving him all the
column numbers and that for updating the inbuilt one.

No pretty keword help links or anything on my stuff, I know how to do
'em, I just like minimalistic tabular info is all.

There've been some noises a-lately that people don't like fancy
symbols placed around the stars from catalogue TDFs.

Well, the loneos compilation only covers little widely distributed
bits of sky, so you wouldn't notice them in passing unless tagged somehow.

So, I've gone for a compromise, they are labelled in darkish green
text. This shouldn't clutter the screen because they are sparse
enough to not even crop up most of the time, whilst allowing their
existance to be seen by panning around a field.

Default visible at ten degrees or less, tweak to taste via DISPLAY;
mags set on auto, should be okay, tweak to taste via DISPLAY button
from right click help; if you don't like the colour, then tweak to
personal tastes via DIS... , well, guess. Labels can be turned off
via help box too, dunno how you'll find the stars then, but they can.

Stars are scaled to V mag and set coloured via V and B-V information,
if you don't like that and want white stars, you've to get the text
editor out, load the TDF, look for the line that starts

photo

and make it start

;photo

and that'll be that.

Fetch the loneos data file via the above url, unzip if necessary to
loneos.dat (browser dependent, some might unzip the gz file on the
fly), copy loneos.dat to the guide directory, cut and paste the
following tdf, which is hopefully wordwrap free, into notepad or your
text editor of choice and save it in the guide directory as
lonphot.tdf or whatever you want to call it.tdf

It's titled LONEOS Photometry Compilation in the Toggle User Data Sets
list, which can be used to get at all the DISPLAY options.

Cheers

John
