[etienne bertrand]

Good job ! Congratulations.

Great work Serge! Will you ever make a non-internet version?
I use this program at home, but have no internet when shooting from my 2500 meter
elevation dark sky site. Tc!

Sincerely Yours,

Hey James,

Thanks for your feedback.

You just need Python3 (with some modules) to run it offline, from sources : https://github.com/serge-golovanow/SpectroStars
On Windows, I usually run Python scripts with MiniConda, or Windows Subsystem for Linux.

I'm slowly rewriting it : modular, object-oriented, ... It will be able to create offline HTML pages as complete as the current online version does, but it won't be released soon...

To Serge,

Thanks for the great effort on your part.......spectra is hard but programming is too much more
to store in my small head! Look forwards to the portable version.

On another item.....any idea if the ELODIE 3.1 data base of high resolution spectra stars will be added?
These are useful when generating the Instrument reference spectra for the LhiresIII at high resolution.
Here a .txt version of the database:

Hi,
Code has been fully updated.
It works offline as long as you don't try to use SIMBAD or GoogleMaps : use coordinates in config.ini.

As long as your database can be used with the Reference Star Finder, it can be adapted (I just added some columns and formatted it as real CSV).
