Hi Jari,

Thanks for the reminder. I've replicated the bug, fixed it,
and added it to the "test" file for this function.

Hmmm... I've run into that one a few times myself, sometimes
with DSS images. Dunno if it'll make it into the coming update.
I've not had much luck on this missing planet map issue; I expect
to add some debugging code that will log what's going on, and hope
that the logs shed some light on the problem. (Which, in the way
of strange bugs, may simply vanish with the update anyway. Or may
vanish with the debugging code, only to reappear when the debugging
code is removed... also known as the "Heisenbug" phenomenon: trying
to observe a bug can change the bug.)
Anyway. At present, one can right-click on the corner of a DSS
or user-added image, and the options are OK, More Info, Display,
and Next. If a time is found in the image header (which is usually
but not always the case), a Set Image Time option would be added.
While I'm about it, the time of observation should be shown, too.

I tend to be so as well, when it comes to things I do on a
frequent basis...
