Hello everyone!
I recently made a program which is using Aladin, PS1 and ZTF data to create star plots! I don't have currently much time for bug fixes and creating better page, but here it is. I think everything is pretty much self explanatory. Installation instructions are available here: https://varplotmaker.wixsite.com/website
Main functions:
1. Creating plots from ZTF and PS1 data
2. Saving every plot to archive folder
3. By clicking "Save plot" you can save plots and observation data to a txt file in "Saved plots" folder
4. By clicking "Detailed view" you are able to zoom a plot
5. Auto Shift
6. By using scales in the upper right corner you can do manual shift if AutoShift done a bad job
7. Program is automatically checking if the star you have selected is already discovered variable by using VizieR data (more info about this feature in Documentation section: https://varplotmaker.wixsite.com/website/documentation)
Bugs I am aware of:
1. The program may crash if servers it is downloading data from are offline
2. Sometimes shift values in legend are off and you have to refresh it by changing manual shift
3. Not sure if it counts as a bug, but installation can be really challenging if you had previously installed Python in different version than 3.9.6
4. Program at the moment is only working properly with 16:9 displays with at least 1920x1080 resolution
Like I've said, I don't have currently much free time due to college, and I am not sure if I will find time for bug fixes in near future, but would be great to hear some feedback, hope you enjoy :) !

What's new? I've added AutoMode option, which is creating plots from list of coords in J2000d format! All you need to do is
change "AutoMode False" to "AutoMode True" in Config.txt, add your coords in J2000d format to "coords.txt" (every coord in new line) and open VPM. Plots will be saved in "AutoMode\Output" folder :)
