Aah sorry didn't think of that.
On a side note the 800K version now shows only as a ~60Kb .pak size. Is this normal?
Strange. It shows 61kB for me as well, but says uses 96 MB of storage.
I have not downloaded this add-on yet but my first question is how do you convert the GAIA magnitudes to V magnitudes. Looking at the data it seems to lose sensitivity toward the redder Stars and I wondered if you saw the same. Do you use a formula?
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by GAIA magnitudes to V magnitudes. I'm guessing you mean the spectral class? Gaia doesn't give the spectral class, and calculating spectral class is very complicated. Since SE currently requires a spectral class to be specified (otherwise it renders as planemo), the decision was made to put all the stars as main sequence (based on T_eff) and the spectral class I to V was randomized.
Oh. I have a youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/c/Phunnie
