I have really missed the possibility of measuring the signal level of collected frames. There is a very neat solution for displaying information in the Histogram window. Similar function would be handy if one would like to optimize the exposure time of deep sky objects (or for photometry) - it's pretty general situation when there is a very bright object in the field of view and it is acceptable to saturate it when trying to capture much fainter objects. Now measuring those fainter objects is currently tricky. I guess that such info-window/menu/text at cursor will be rather demanding in video regime - toggling info could be a solution.
Currently when I want to measure signal level of some pixels/stars, I'm opening FITS file with another program (e.g. MaximDL) and using it's Information menu with an aperture. And aperture is here much better solution than just the value of pixel under cursor, because it is very difficult to locate correct pixel on the 20 Mpix sensor shown on FullHD display.
Best wishes,
Tõnis
