This patch will improve the functionality of the align points wizard.
I found some spherical trig in another part of kstars that I could modify slightly to calculate the points I needed for the align points wizard to truly generate equally distributed points along a particular dec line in the sky from the minimum altitude on either side of the sky. In the process of the revision, I added a spin box for the minimum altitude so it is not just hard coded to 30 degrees anymore, I added another spin box so the user could specify the declination used for the align points. This will allow the user to very quickly create a grid of align points to build a highly accurate pointing model. I added an option to let the user choose whether to use bright alignment stars, any objects kstars finds near the points, or fixed points not connected to any object. I also fixed the problem reported where the CSV file export fails because there is no name for a point. I added the word “None" to fix it. CCMAIL:kstars-devel@kde.org
