This update focuses on making it easier to plan your imaging nights with powerful new visualization and scheduling tools.
New Features vs 2.8
Constellation Data: Objects now display their constellation (e.g., “Cyg” for Cygnus) in the “Properties” tab, which is also filterable and sortable.
Meridian Transit Line: The daily altitude graph now shows a red dashed line indicating the meridian transit time, helping you plan for equatorial mount flips.
Add to Calendar: You can now add imaging opportunities directly to your device’s calendar with a single click.
Imaging Opportunities now also show potential imaging times
Enhancements
Automatic File Repair: The application can now automatically detect and repair common configuration file errors, improving stability and preventing startup issues.
New Data caching model: all curves are calculated at start up and once every day, so the performance after the first data load is much better
Bug Fixes
Fixed a critical bug where the meridian transit was calculated incorrectly for any date other than the present day.
Trending had some update problems, which is now fixed as well
Resolved various layout and alignment issues on the Configuration page for a cleaner experience.
Clear skies!
