[Kstars-devel] herschel 400 image update/query

[Glenn Becker]

Hi All,

The update is that I don't really have an update. Work has been kicking me 
from behind and it is unlikely I will get a chance to add images this 
weekend because I am planning to go to Vermont.

I have been wondering too whether it might not be better to scrap the 
"Herschel 400" plan and simply go with a "Supplemental Images" route 
instead, perhaps something that could be added to as more images are found 
(because I don't know a lot about how difficult it is to prep these files 
for use in the app, I don't want to out-and-out "propose" such a route). 
I'm not in any way throwing in the towel on the H400s yet, however - it 
does look as though my initial impression that these would be /relatively/ 
big and bright DSOs (e.g. ones there'd be plenty of images of) was a 
little naive. There appear to be some objects for which it will be 
difficult to adequately fill the image bill.

Not trying to be downbeat, just flexible! :) I've got dozens of images 
already ... if you haven't please take a look at

I'm interested in reactions / ideas.

Thanks,

Glenn
