While Messier objects do have NGC numbers if the NGC number is referenced first in the database that is the number that is
used when imaging (camera tab file name title). When I slew to M83 and start taking images the files should be named M_83...
not NGC_...

And yes I know I can rename the file title field but that is just one more thing I must remember to do.

I've changed the new ngc catalog so that the Messier objects have their M XX name as primary name.
This will break the inline thumbnails until we update their name again...

You can download the newest CI builds of the catalogs from here: protagon.space/catalogs/pages/catalogs.html
and import them through Data->Manage DSO Catalogs->Import Catalog.

In general, if you have issues with the catalogs themselves or want a catalog added, you can open an issue under invent.kde.org/vboettcher/kstars-catalogs/-/issues

- catalog management system changed

Do you consider that a problem?

Valentin,
Thank you for working on this!
Any idea when the catalogs/images will be fixed and available for download directly from KStars?
Thanks!

Oh... I just manually downloaded a couple of catalogs from protagon.space/catalogs/pages/catalogs.html and imported to KStars - that didn't make any difference.
Let me try the latest nightly...

Thanks!

Just tried the latest nightly build of Windows client - still cannot search/find M45
Some weird things are going on with catalog downloads and the catalog manager - catalogs sometimes install, sometimes disappear..
The new system is still broken : (

I guess, some changes are still propagating.
Sharpless catalog now searches correctly on Sh2 *** short name.

Problem:
Right now I have a completely empty Catalog Manager.
-- download/install NGC IC (Steinicke). Installed. Shows up in the Manager.
-- download/install Open NGC. After this the Manager gets emptied.
it wasn't like this yesterday.
