Re: [guide-user] RA/dec format, missing globs

Hi

Is there any advantage in showing thousands or hundreds of seconds?
Visually, no - If I had .0001 arcsecond resolution on my scope I'd be out
planet hunting...

I can see the validity of using these figures for computing accurate
separations etc... on paper.

Could the displayed numbers possibly be rounded to a few significant figures
depending on the zoom level?

regards

James

Similarly, you'll see that when you zoom
in far enough, tenths of arcseconds (and tenths of RA seconds) are
added, then hundredths, then thousandths.
