Target Name

I am forever forgetting to update my target name, any thought to adding an "Are You Sure" box to verify Target name before you start a capture series.

Hi,

Yes, I do that a lot as well, but I worry that an extra thing that you need to click every time you capture would be more of an annoyance than a help :-(

It would be nice for any such feature to be 'smart'. I suppose that if you had a mount connected and the RA and declination had changed significantly since the last capture it might be reasonable to prompt for confirmation as you are now pointing to a different location. I wonder if there are any other things that might flag it being sensible to prompt?

Cheers, Robin

Maybe it would be simpler to add the Target box to the capture window.
