Dear All,
We have hooked up Stellarium to the Dwingeloo radio telescope. Having
this connection is great when operating the telescope for the general
public. After all, radio astronomy can be done in broad daylight, and
members of the general public often wonder, and ask, where the telescope
is pointing at. Having Stellarium to show just that information is great!
But the telescope is also often used by amateur radio astronomers for
radio observing. And we often do that by scanning a pattern in the sky,
observing each pointing for maybe 10 minutes.
What we would very much like to have is Stellarium showing that pattern,
in the form of dots/circels, whatever. The telescope control "pointer"
then shows where the telescope is in the pattern. The pattern is
generated by the observation control program. This piece of software can
spit out sky locations in any form we like. And in any file we like we
any name we like in any location we like. (Well, within certain
boundaries, of course.) But the question is: how can we get these
locations being shown in Stellarium?

Kind regards,
Harm Munk
