Stellarium

Use stars catalogues on my own development

Asked by Óscar

I'm developing my own planetarium software and I don't know if I can use or not stellarium's stars catalogues.

Can I use stellarium's stars catalogues on my own development?

Thanks.

Yes, of course you can use catalogs in the own planetarium.

Thanks a lot.

I' trying to understand how your catalogues are organized but I haven't understood them yet.

I only need star's right ascension, declination, name and magnitude.

Do your catalogues have these information? If the answer is yes, don't worry, I will continue studying.

I have found this wiki, http://www.stellarium.org/wiki/index.php/Star_Catalogue_Format. Maybe with this information I will undestand catalogues' format.
