Hi Josch, Lawrence,

I'm not sure of what you're looking for. It sounds as if at least one
componen would be a way to redefine the cursor panning hotkeys
(and corresponding toolbar buttons) so that, instead of meaning
"move over half a screen", they would mean "move over this many
degrees in RA, or this many in dec." (Or both at once if you hit
the diagonal keys.) Is this correct?

The motion amount would normally be almost the height or width
of the CCD field, minus a bit for overlap.

This part wouldn't be at all difficult to arrange. Trickiest part would
be to ensure that panning up, left, down, and right returned you to
your initial point. (This is analogous to walking on the earth a
kilometer north, then a kilometer east, then south, then west.
Because the earth isn't flat, you won't return exactly to your
starting point. Already in Guide, hitting up-arrow/left-arrow/
down-arrow/right-arrow doesn't return you to where you started.)

Does this describe what you're looking for?
