 The Object Details Window presents advanced data available about
 a specific object in the sky.  To access this tool,
 <mousebutton>right</mousebutton>-click on any object, and select the
 <guimenuitem>Details...</guimenuitem> item from the popup menu.
 </para>
 <para>
 The window is divided into a number of tabs.  In the
 <guilabel>General</guilabel> tab, we present basic data about
 the current object.  This includes names and catalog designations,
 object type, and <link linkend="ai-magnitude">magnitude</link>
 (brightness).  On the <guilabel>Position</guilabel> tab
 are the object's Equatorial and Horizontal
 coordinates, as well as its rise, set and transit times.

 In the <guilabel>Links</guilabel> tab, you can manage the internet
 links associated with this object.  The Image and Information links
 associated with the object are listed.  These are the links that
 appear in the popup menu when the object is
 <mousebutton>right</mousebutton>-clicked.  You can add custom
 links to the object with the <guibutton>Add Link...</guibutton>
 button.  This will open a window in which you fill in the &URL; and link
 text for the new link (you can also test the &URL; in the web browser
 from this window).  Every time you add a custom &URL; to a certain object,
 you are able to choose the resource type using the <guibutton>Resource Type</guibutton>
 button. Keep in mind that the custom link can easily point
 to a file on your local disk, so you can use this feature to index
 your personal astronomical images or observing logs.

 <para>
 You can also modify or remove any link using the
 <guibutton>Edit Link...</guibutton> and
 <guibutton>Remove Link...</guibutton> buttons.

 <para>
 The <guilabel>Advanced</guilabel> tab (not available for all objects) allows you to query professional
 astronomical databases on the internet for information regarding the
 current object.  To use these databases, double click on the
 desired database in the list to see the results of your query in a web browser window.  The
 query is made using the primary name of the object you clicked on to
 open the Details Dialog.  The following databases are available for
 querying:
 
 <itemizedlist>
 <listitem><para><guimenuitem>Set of Identifications, Measurements, and Bibliography
 for Astronomical Data (SIMBAD)</guimenuitem>: SIMBAD is similar to NED, except it
 provides data about all kinds of objects, not just galaxies.
 </para></listitem>
 <listitem><para><guimenuitem>SkyView</guimenuitem>: Provides images from All-Sky surveys that have
 been performed in dozens of different parts of the spectrum, from
 Gamma Rays to the Radio.  The &kstars; interface will retrieve an image
 from any of these surveys, centered on the selected object.
 </para></listitem>
 <listitem><para><guimenuitem>High Energy Astrophysical Archive (HEASARC)</guimenuitem>: Here you
 can retrieve data about the current object from a number of
 <quote>High-energy</quote> observatories, which covers the
 Ultraviolet, X-ray and Gamma Ray portions of the electromagnetic
 spectrum.</para></listitem>
 <listitem><para><guimenuitem>NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED)</guimenuitem>: NED provides
 encapsulated data and bibliographic links about
 extragalactic objects.  You should only use NED if your target is
 extragalactic; &ie; if it is itself a galaxy.
 </para></listitem>
 <listitem><para><guimenuitem>NASA Astrophysical Data System (ADS)</guimenuitem>: This
 incredible bibliographic database encompass the entire body of
 literature published in international peer-review Journals about
 astronomy and astrophysics.  The database is divided into four
 general subject areas (Astronomy and Astrophysics, Astrophysics
 Preprints, Instrumentation, and Physics and Geophysics).  Each of these
 has three sub-nodes that query the database
 in different ways.  <quote>Keyword search</quote> will return articles
 which listed the object's name as a keyword.  <quote>Title word
 search</quote> will return articles which included the object name in
 their Title, and the <quote>Title &amp; Keyword search</quote> uses
 both options together.
 </para></listitem>
 <listitem><para><guimenuitem>Multimission Archive at Space Telescope (MAST)</guimenuitem>:
 The <ulink url="https://www.stsci.edu/">Space Telescope Science Institute</ulink> provides access to the entire
 collection of images and spectra taken with the Hubble Space
 Telescope, as well as several other space-based observatories.
 </para></listitem>
 </itemizedlist>
 </para>
 
 <para>
 Finally, in the <guilabel>Log</guilabel> tab, you can type in some text
 that will remain associated with this object's <guilabel>Details</guilabel> window.
 You could use this to attach personal observing notes, for example. Your notes
 will be saved, such that you can easily read or use them next time when you will
 use &kstars;.
