Hi
thanks

I propose


INVERSION MENU

RA/Dec (north up)
Alt/Az (north up)

Alt/Az (north up - block celestial)
RA/Dec (north up - block horizon )


two up options, block in proper coordinates

two down options, in crowned?

( this convert in a planetarium Guide ? maybe )



other options,
is show a orrery,
and simplifyed orbital scheme for asteroids and comets for example
