Add max (below) altitude to target search filters

The Seestar S50 has trouble tracking at high altitudes (> 80 degrees). The Telescopius target search algorithm has a filter for > altitudes for a specified time period, it would be great to also have a filter for < altitudes over the same specified time period (the net result being to exclude all objects which do not satisfy both criteria). This can be figured out from the charts of course, but an automated feature would sure help!

In any case, Telescopius is brilliant, thank you!

That’s a good use case for adding the max altitude filter. I’ve just added it to the backlog, hoping to do it soon. Thanks for your suggestion :slight_smile:

While you’re at the max altitude enhancement…

…I am sure I’m not alone in having a more restricted horizon view in certain quadrants. So how about also enabling min altitude to be specified per quadrant? e.g. in my case I would specify a target search with a min altitude of 25 degrees for SE and SW, but 50 degrees for NE and NW. Of course, I could exclude the NE and NW quadrants completely, or specify an altitude of 50 degrees and all quadrants, but then in both cases the results would exclude targets which are visible. Enabling min altitude per quadrant would resolve this issue.

Thanks for your attention, and again, it’s a great tool just as it is!
