bob i'll give it a try.
i still think it's a incorrect use of limit magnitude per all the other places it's used. if it is an offset it needs to be better described in the help files. personally i'd prefer it to be consistent with limiting magnitude as it has been traditionally used: a clip on things which are less visible (greater number) than what is in the limit dialog. tnx and happy holidays! jtm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Rose" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 25, 2004 1:06 PM Subject: [skychart-discussion] Re: Limit:Magnitude? Jim, Think of the magnitude limit on labels as an offset. If you have the limit in the nebula catalog for the displayed FOV set at 9 and the label offset "limit" set at 0 then it should label every thing down to mag 9. If you have the label limit set at 6 then it should only label everything down to mag 3. Hope this helps.
