Create a compstars csv file after a manual photometry

Fred DJN requested to merge sn2nina into master

A manual photometry process is performed by selecting the stars one by one once in photometry mode (image).

Once the user is happy with his result, he can now choose to save the comparison stars he selected as a compstars file (.csv).

This file is exactly in the same fashion as the files generated while using the online catalogues.

As this feature relies on no online request, no information on the stars is used. And so, the output file name is set to a generic name (V_SirilstarList_user.csv). It's up to the user to change this name before it's overwritten by the next analysis...

This feature can be useful in several cases:

  • no internet connexion is available
  • the star-under-study doesn't host an exoplanet, which our automatic process is dedicated to.
  • one wants to perform an analysis of a variable star whose comparison stars are given by the AAVSO or any other third party supplier (in a separate chart or via the conesearch function)
  • the user wants to keep a trace of the used stars to reuse and manage them aftwerward

This feature is fully dedicated to GUI users and is accessible in the Tools/Photometry menu
