By the way is there a list of requirements for database for both
deep-sky object and stars? I don't think it's possible to come up with
decent design without knowing _what_ we want.

This is not list of requirements rather some vague points.

 * Database is read-only. We are not going to write anything to it.
Addition of other catalog is different. This fact should be exploited.
 * We need bulk selects for drawing objects on a map.
 * "One size doesn't fit all". Each catalog have different kinds of
fields in it.
