magnifying glass

Post by exaxe »

Hello,
I would like to know if adding a second small window with the magnification you want (like a magnifying glass) is possible?
This can be interesting when doing deep sky acquisitions in EAA mode or short exposures. On one side we have the main window and next to it a small magnifying glass on a star for focusing.
But it may exist and I would not have seen it...

This is actually a really good idea. I always have to switch back and forth from Auto to 100% and back to Auto for focusing. A separate pane that always showed the location of the cursor at 100% would be very useful.

I do the same and I often lose my reference star for the focus which changes quickly during the night.
