Today we make available a brand new catalog in Gaia Sky, derived from the Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) dataset. This catalog is a handpicked collection of the most precise stellar measurements available in DR3, designed for applications where accuracy in parallax and astrometric fidelity is essential. This catalog includes a total of 646,400 stars, with a clear bias toward brighter magnitudes. It is a small, non-LOD (non-Level-of-Detail) catalog, designed for broad compatibility. It will be the recommended star dataset starting from Gaia Sky 3.6.8.
It is ideal for:
- Laptops
- VR
- Low-end desktops
- Devices without dedicated GPUs in general
- Use cases where performance and simplicity matter more than completeness
