I'm imaging Cocoon Nebula tonight, an noticed that - while being the same object - the markers for the IC and the Sh2 catalogs are far apart.
Is that a bug in the coordinates of one catalog, or a (missing?) J20?? conversion?

I get a similar result, but not exactly the same.

Interesting.  But it seems some general conversion error, other Sharpless objects are off, too.  E.g., Sh2 142 / Wizard Nebula.

Valentin fixed this issue in the catalogs. Try to remove and re-install shapless again.

Not sure if I made an error. I had first used Configure->Catalogs->Manage DS Catalogs to remove Sh2, but didn't find an option to re-install. So went to Data->Download New Data, that sill listed it with the 'Update' flag. So I uninstalled there, then re-installed.
But object markers are still off. I don't need to update kstars for that, do I?
