Gianluca...a great site , thankyou for all your efforts. I find it easy to use and a real time saver when looking up double stars.
Also it is nice to have a spot where my measurements can be entered.

I updated the database to the lastest WDS version.
Minor bugs where fixed. For example, one did not allowed to show the menus until you refreshed the page.

Minor issues still exists in data visualization, related to graphs. I'll fix them as soon as I can get some free time.

In the meantime, I wrote an article on "Double Star Bulletin" (Il Bollettino delle Stelle Doppie) issue #2, an Italian new online pubblication.
If you are interested to how many problems I encountered writing this software and how I solved them, an english version of the article is available, translated by me.

Bye!

What Bruce said!

You've done a fantastic job with that site, Gianluca. I find myself reluctant to switch over to the WDS now unless I need to confirm some data or search for something not otherwise available.

Very, very much appreciated, believe me!

And the Bulletin of Double Stars looks very appealing as well -- I'm working my way through that now.





John

(P.S. -- just sent you a PM, also)

Thank you Bruce and John.
I advice you all there is a bug in the "advanced search" page: I tested searching for SAO, it seems to have no effect. Still investigating.
When checking the visual filter flag the algorithm did not filtered doubles with magnitudes out of resolution limit of the telescope. This was fixed but not yet in production.
I also discovered an unexpected format of the Orbit 6 catalog, confirmed by Dr Mason, USNO. Some data are duplicated for the same double because the are multiple solutions to the orbit. Difference is most cases minimal, it's matter of decimals, but I had to invent a solution to handle this. So it may happen multiple graphs are displayed, and "pa now" and "sep now" refers to the first graph.

No need to download the database. You have the chance to search using my site. It's very simple, give it a try.
I just updated the WDS to nov 17, 2012 release.

Site was offline in the past two days for server upgrade and security fixes.
Now back online.

Vielen Dank! I noticed it was down the last couple of times I looked at it.

Thanks for keeping that site going, Ginaluca!

Many thanks for a great site!

I'm getting a 403 error when I try to go to the registration page. Using Firefox 19.0.2 and IE9.

I've tried the registration links from these two pages:
http://stelledoppie.goaction.it/
http://stelledoppie.goaction.it/index2.php?section=1

Both return the 403

It seems I enforced security too much in my last maintenance session! :-)
Fixed.
Thank you.
