Finder circles and rectangles suggestion   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #5710 of 5914 |
Hello,

I've been enjoying CdC for some time now, all the more as I learn its
many features. One that I use a lot is the finder reticles for
eyepieces and cameras. I have a good number of them configured,
activated depending on the optical configuration.

One thing that is tedious though is getting to the config window. This
is rather cumbersome: "Setup->Display" then scroll the tabs over to the
far right to select the correct tab. Doesn't sound like much, but in
the dark, with gloves on, or needing to put the reading glasses back on
to see things... Would it be possible to add a toolbar button to access
both of these directly?

Also, another problem I have is remembering which circle/rectangle is
which. When using a main scope/guide scope setup, it's helpful to have
a CCD finder for the main camera ad for the guide scope, plus
alternative CCD finder for different focal lengths (with/without
reducer, etc). Plus eyepiece circles. Even pared down to a minimum, I
currently have five of them enabled. Perhaps a right-click on the
outline itself to show a small pop-up with the text entered in the
config pane?

By the way I'm using Version 3 beta 0.1.6. Thanks for listening,

Charles Wright

I don't use finder rectangles myself, but I think your suggestions are extremely valid. Just post them in the bugtracker...
