[Kstars-devel] [PATCH] Support of non-western constellations

[Jérôme SONRIER]

Hello,

This new patch uses HD catalog number instead of Bayer designation. This 
works for almost all stars, but not for the following stars :

  HIP    Bayer     HD   
 1599   zet Tuc   1581  
 2021   bet Hyi   2151  
 2762    13 Cet   3196  
 8102   Tau Cet   10700 
 10777     -      14164 
 15510   e Eri    20794 
 17467     -      23204

 99240  del Pav  190248 
103512     -     199631 
114622     -     219134 
  114      -     224882 

For these stars, StarComponent::findByHDIndex() return 0  (because 
Henry-Draper.idx was not found) and when I do a right click on these 
stars in kstars, the HD catalog number is not displayed.

There is also 5 stars for which I can not find HD number :
  HIP    Bayer     HD   
 12621     -        - 
 64839     -        - 
  7984     -        -
 10388     -        -
 12222     -        -

I have not included constellations containing these 5 stars.


The combobox in the config panel is now sorted.


Here are the only informations I found about data I use :
- Polynesian constellations are based on diagrams from the Polynesian 
Voyaging Society
- Chinese constellations are based on diagrams from the Hong Kong Space 
Museum
- Egyptian constellations are based on the work of Juan Antonio 
Belmonte, Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias

I find no informations about how those data are licenced.



Regards
