There's just been a drt grt big data release of Kepler stuff.

The file here

http://wikisend.com/download/601870/kepler.zip

can be unzipped into the Guide directory.

Small purple circles plotted at coords (in Kepler Field) in Guide, weblink takes to a summary page. Tick a marked object and press the plot button, which won't always work currently because there always seems to be a bit of a lag between Kepler data uploads at MAST and putting the things in the same directory structure as they used at the last data release.

This one has been a big jump in object numbers, 165000 nearly, from across the Kepler field, possibly all there is save for the few hundred kept back proprietary for more in depth ground based follow just in case there's a lump of rock transiting something Sunlike in those candidates.

Many eclipsers (1800ish) were published in an arxiv paper last night, here's one object for example to test. You should be able to GOTO TDF then enter 08953426 (preceding zeroes to pad out to eight characters are essential for GOTO TDF here) and then there'll be a purple circle at 2 degree and less fields (adjustable via the pop up object help Display button), possibly hidden a bit by the star symbol there, keep using next till a Kepler dialogue pops up. More Info will show a link to this page

The top dataset is currently plottable, just tick the Mark box and press the Plot marked Light Curves button above it. Probably all will be plotted when MAST has had time to catch up with this release.
