Catalog suggestions for annotation script
« on: 2012 April 23 19:27:47 »
Thought this might merit its own thread ...

I tried the annotation script on M81 and vicinity. I can see tiny galaxies that I want to identify, but, if they're not in the hyperleda catalog, where would they be? It has nearly a million catalog entries  :surprised:

I also did the vizier search 'around' M81 but the number of catalogs is, ahem, astronomical.
Regards,
Luigi Marchesi

This is a FAF (Frequently Asked Feature).

If anybody knows at VizieR a better galaxy catalog than HYPERLEDA I can add it to the list of supported catalogs.
