What Catalogs are supported by the ASIAir currently, and can we also have others, like Gum catalog?

Improve101 Hi, here is the catalogs in ASIAIR. I hope it can help you~

Improve101 and if i may add, @tech@zwo please improve the search, so it’s less of a pain to find any target. The current search implementation in the target objects list is limited as you need to type the exact name (i.e. like NGC 123 – note the space after NGC). If you forget to type the space in the name, it fails to find any results. Technically speaking, the UX could be heavily improved by using some regular expression to match the targets.

AstroDude42 Thanks for your advice. We are discussing. Clear skies~

@asiair@zwo#54103 thank you very much! If you want to further improve the search, then it might also be a good idea to implement fuzzy search, search-as-you-type and partially typing (don’t know the technical term now, but consider typing just 438 to find NGC 438, which at the moment is not possible).

Can we get the Gum catalog objects added too please?

It would be great to add the Abell catalog, too.
