Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources it would be helpful if in the object details there would be a constellation entry. This can be very handy for deepsky objects which are 'in between' constellations.
Good idea. Adding it to the TODO.
CVS commit by harris: Fulfilling wish #82946 (include constellation in object details). The constellation which contains the object is now displayed in the details dialog, and also in the top section of the popup menu. Please let me know if you think the latter is overkill. I kind of like it, but I know some people prefer smaller popup menus :) Added function SkyPoint::constellation(), which returns the name of the constellation which contains the point. It does this by iterating over all of the constellation-boundary line segments to find the pair of segments which bracket the point to the North and South.
