Hi, Maetes.

Thank you for sharing this data. Really, I am looking for good
data source for my present Virtual planetary project:
https://yesbird.online/planetarium/

I am expected that it should be informative and compact enough,
also includes deep sky objects like nebulas and galaxies, but
assume that it will be not for professional use, but mostly addressed
to schoolchildren and students just for fun.

Could you suggest such a data source ?
