Here's a sneak peak. It's the open linux version compiled in windows, so it doesn't have all the good drivers.

- Connect to the simulator camera
- Loop exposures and it will random between 6 images (From my starshoot autoguider).
- Stop on an image
Everything new is at the bottom of the tools menu:
- Select stars. If it miss-identifies anything, Shift-Click to remove the incorrect selected star.
- Name Stars.
There's a configuration window now (the settings aren't persistent when you quit yet).
When you select any star from the camera image it tries to name it (using the full catalog). If the search pattern matched correctly, it should be able to name almost every star in the frame.
"Catalog Magnitude Threshold" has a huge impact on search speed. It only needs to be high enough to cover most of the stars in the search pattern. As it approches around 11, an order of magnitude can mean around another million stars to process...
The catalog only loads on the first naming cycle, or when you change the above value.
The number of search threads defaults to half your number of cores/threaded cores.
