I have recently finished posting images of the 15 Palomar globular clusters. At present ‘Palomar’ does not register as a search item. Would it be possible to enable this?
Hi Alan,
Thanks for posting these images – and well done on completing your observing project!
Currently I seem to release updates to the image gallery object database roughly once per year – with the exception of comets, which automatically get added when they first appear in the Comet Section archives. It’s about a year since I last added a bunch of extra deep sky catalogues, so it’s probably about time to think about a new update.
The criteria I generally use to decide which catalogues to add is to look through the list of untagged images, and see which catalogues are easily available for download from reliable online sources like CDS / Vizier.
As it happens, the Palomar catalogue is already my top priority for the next update.
It won’t happen right away, but perhaps by the end of the summer.
Best wishes,
Dominic
