Title Plan Creation Wizard - Restrict Catalogues Searched
Description

It would be nice to be able to select or restrict the catalogues being searched when using the plan creation wizard.

Use Case: When preparing a plan to use at a Star Party, I wanted to generate a plan from only those catalogues built into Meade's AutoStar II database (LX200). This is far easier than looking up RA & Dec coordinates and entering those when 10 people are waiting at the scope!

Also could be used to generate AutoStar tours and, in general, when not using a laptop in the field.

Logical place would be the "Where & When" screen where restrictions on Date/Time and Constellation are entered.

Developer
Analysis

Note that V2 uses a different mechanism from V1, and only certain catalogues are used. However, I think I can give a list of catalogues and filter where necessary.

Resolution

Implemented.
