Hi all

Please use this forum topic to post about what you see as development priorities for VStar.

Along with the ticket list, this will help me decide what features, bugs, and plug-ins to tackle first.

David,

I have recently been looking at the photometry data from GAIA DR2 for a few stars.  A query of their database can include a link to a service that provides the 3 filter photometry as an XML document.  I think it would be great to be able to paste this link into VStar and load these data like any other source.

best regards

VO queries

Hello all,

to me it sounds that more general VO connectivity would help a lot (there is much more sources than just Gaia, more coming).
