Abstract
Recent technological advances in astronomy, particularly the growing popularity of smart telescopes for the general public, make it possible to develop highly effective detection solutions that are accessible to a wide audience, rather than being reserved for major scientific observatories. Published in 2023, DeepSpaceYoloDataset is a collection of annotated images created to train YOLO-based models for detecting Deep Sky Objects, particularly suited for Electronically Assisted Astronomy. In this paper, we present an update to DeepSpaceYoloDataset with the addition of a new split, test2026, designed to evaluate detection models with a greater diversity of images.
