Thomas -
That would be good - to be able to right click on a location (lat/long) on
the Earth map and choose "set as new site" or even have a number of
different observing sites to toggle eg home, dark sky, friends and
relatives, famous people (laugh), observatories etc etc.
Another thing might be to have a number of different windows to show
eclipses/ occultations from locations that are quite close to each other
geographically.This might be good for Baily's Beads experiments, lunar
grazing occultations and asteroid occ's. Although I suspect that there
would be a lot of variables involved - altitude, solar diameter (it varies
slightly, doesn't it? positional accuracy of Guide, asteroid diameter etc etc.


Clear Sky tonight for me!
