Re: How to get prediction of transit of ISS on the Sun

Denis,

This is a great program you have put together! I spent several
hours working with it tonight and I am very impressed with it.

At this point the major question I have concerns how to zoom in and
out on the star map. I notice that the program always defaults to a
80 degree field of view. I can zoom in and out using the mouse but
sometimes it doesn't seem to work as I expected. Is there a simple
way to get a 180 degree field of view with the local zenith at the
center and the horizon appearing as a circle around it? Also, I
notice that some of the constellation figure lines seem to extend
back to the upper left when you zoom out too far.

Thanks again for a great piece of work.
