Warning missing for heavy "Image catalogs" pdf files #401

Open TomCorstjens opened 9 years ago

When clicking menu "downloads -> Image catalogs", the catalogi are sorted per constellation. In case clicking to one of the links, the download immediately starts, even for a small constellation like Delphinus this generates a pfd file over >45 Mb. --> There is no option to specify what objects / images should be integrated (e.g. only NGC's, or only planetary nebula, ...).

This is because the catalogs are not generated on the fly. these are pre-generated catalogs that are available for download.

Then at least a disclaimer should be added. Example like: "These are static pregenerated catalogs, with file size > 10Mb. It can take a while to download"

To implement in the laravel version of DeepskyLog.
