Another problematic place is StarObject::initImages. It uses pixmaps of size
15*SkyMap::Instance()->scale(). Then algorithm which actaully create pixmaps
assume that they are 15x15 pixels. Which behaviour is correct?
And last one is

If this functionfion calculate absolute value of proper motion it should use
following formula:
sqrt( v_{RA}^2 * cos(dec)^2 + v_dec^2 )
