Xephem 3.7 вышел

[елVIs]

Добрый день всем
Решил попробовать потихоньку переползать сюда с Astronomy.ru
и, для начала, отметиться новостью про Xephem, одной из лучших программ.

Вышел Xephem 3.7 http://www.clearskyinstitute.com/xephem/index.html
Довольно много изменений (теперь поддерживается PNG, улучшен скроллинг карт, новые каталоги),
кроме того добавлена штатно поддержка OpenVMS (VAX, Alpha, Itanium) стараниями вашего покорного слуги


Changes from 3.6.4 to 3.7
Released August 1, 2005

New Features:

* Data
o Includes Hubble GSC 2.2.0.1 catalog, 450 million stars complete to M18.5.
o New and updated catalogs: Messier, IC, NGC, COVBS, SKY2000, HYPERLEDA, Supernova, WDSC, Open clusters, Henry-Draper, Pleiades and asteroids.
o YBS replaced with Sky 2000 to magnitude 6.5.
o Can now display Gallery image directly from Data Index.

* Earth View
o Display satellite orbits in space.
o Zoom in to see better geography, or out to see high orbits.
o Quick-set button to set equator rotation.
o Display of surface footprint is now optional.
o Expanded range mouse panning allows continuous rotation.

* Sky View
o Save and restore sets of eyepiece definitions.
o Save and restore sets of eyepiece Sky positions.
o Constellation figure definitions now stored in editable files.
o WCS solver invoked automatically if header has seed but no solution.
o Shortcut button to set display aspect ratio to match image.
o FITS file blinking via new Movie frame function.

* User Annotation
o Anchor locations are now based on the view's world coordinates.
o Sets of annotations may be saved and loaded from files.

* Other
o Collect any number of View, NAAG or Plot frames into a movie, save as set of PNG files.
o Many tweaks for improved INDI support, including display FITS BLOBs.

Bugs fixed:

* Negative years in some date formats.
* WCS solver could result in RA outside range 0..24 hours.
* Setting lat or long would reset elevation.
* Highly zoomed FITS images would show half-pixel offset.
* FITS images without WCS headers could generate bogus graphic overlays.
* Sky View compass rose rotation angle could be wrong near poles.
* Persistent labels on Earth trails in Sol System view were incorrect.
* Outdated magnetic declination model updated.

Отличная программа, давно ею пользуюсь. Под Линукс наверно одна из лучших.
