Go to target selecting

Post by Gfischer »

Hi Robin,

I use your target selection list in the goto tool constantly and really enjoy it. The altitude selector limits the objects by altitude above horizon. I use a dob and there is a section of sky I can’t view because of the mount design. The dreaded dob hole near zenith. How about an addition to altitude selection to limit objects no higher than a certain altitude.(ie objects <80 deg altitude?

Thanks
George

Hi George,

thanks for the suggestion - I hadn't thought of that!

I have plans to improve the minimum altitude at some point so you can specify a variable horizon (different heights in different directions), so I will think about it then.

cheers,

Robin
