Re: Inverted planets

PJ Anway Aug 30, 2003

Hi Bill,

This is probably something for a later version, but what I was thinking of
is an inversion setting for each level (kind of like magnitude setting is
now). This would allow the star charts to match the naked eye view at lower
levels, but inverted at higher levels to match the view through your scope
when comparing the features on Mars or Luna or for star-hopping.

Hope that makes more sense.

Best regards,
PJ
