January-1 version of CoLiTec (CLT) project
The projects updating:
1. Improvement of algorithms of stars matching. From now on large-scale (galaxy) images are included in identification process; fixed matching errors on high declinations.
2. Updated built-in Dolly-browser up to 2.0 version. The present version is more stable due to the improved browser’s engine. Fixed errors of NEO-rating output. This version permits to work with 400 connected clients.
3. Now available manual parameters’ setting for catalog of motionless objects, permits user to set the parameters by himself.
4. New VSX plug-in of Dolly-browser obtains known variable star’s data with display, navigation and saving report of discovered objects on the frame.
5. Updated process of signals border (boundary) identification permits to specify initial parameters for fitting and upgrades accuracy of asteroids’ coordinates identification for 1/3.
