I think it doesn't seem too ambitious. I only don't have a clear idea
of what to do from now, till I get the larger data set. I plan to do
the following:

1. Make the memory limiting slider functional
2. Use the broken PM formula to see how much of a size increase it
causes in the star catalogs
3. Add more fields to the binary file format.
