# Fchart3
Fchart3 is a project designed to create high quality astronomical charts. It is written in Python using data from Stellarium, Kstars and HnSky, including 300 million stars. It can be used to create both offline charts with output to PDF or online interactive charts as can be seen in the case of project **CzSky**.
Online interactive version is available on project **CzSky**:

Install:
Download this project and
`python setup.py install`
Run: `fchart3 --help` to show commandline options.
The sources of original project fcharts can be found at:
* https://www.astro.rug.nl/~brentjen/fchart.html
However it relies on numarray which has been deprecated in favor of numpy.
Previous fchart sources for python2.7 can be found at:
* https://github.com/Fingel/fchart
This repository contains updated sourcecode so that the code may run with numpy.
This repository also contains following catalogs in the data/catalogs directory:
- `bsc5.dat` catalogue of [bright stars](http://tdc-www.harvard.edu/catalogs/bsc5.html)
- `constbnd.dat` [Catalogue of Constellation Boundary Data](http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/Cat?VI/49#sRM2.2)
- `constellationship_western.fab` - western constellation lines from Stellarium
- `milkyway.dat` - outlined Milky Way
- `milkyway_enhanced.dat` - shaded Milky Way
- `deep_sky.hnd` - catalog of deepsky objects from Hnsky created by Han Kleijn (https://www.hnsky.org/software.htm)
- `namedstars.dat` - catalog of named stars from [kstars](https://edu.kde.org/kstars/)
- `outlines_catgen.dat` - nebulae outlines from [OpenNGC](https://github.com/mattiaverga/OpenNGC)
- `PGC.dat` - catalogue of PGC galaxies
- `PGC_updates.dat` - actualizations of PGC catalogue
- `starnames.dat` - star names from [kstars](https://edu.kde.org/kstars/)
- `stars_0_0v*.cat` - UsnoNomad catalogs from [stellarium](https://github.com/Stellarium)
- `unamedstars.dat` - catalog of unamed stars from [kstars](https://edu.kde.org/kstars/)
