I’m wondering how hard it would be to add the ability to show multiple F.O.V. indicators for a target. I use a variety of lenses/telescopes and I’d love to be able to overlay different indicators to help me decide what I want to use to image my target. This would help me get the best framing for my image. If I could see two or three scopes/lenses (with labels as to what’s what) that would be appreciated.

Yes! I’m planning to upgrade the Telescope Simulator later this year to allow adding several framings to compare, and also being able to zoom out while the framings are in there 🙂

Hi Cliff, welcome to the forum!

I didn’t make it last year, but I’m taking care of this feature right now. I’ll make sure to reply to this thread when it’s done 🙂

The new Planetarium has been released in version 5.15.5, which will replace the old Telescope Simulator soon. You can change the release notes in the changelog: [Astronomy Tools & Astrophotography](https://telescopius.com/changelog) , but regarding this topic it’s not possible to show multiple framings at once. Hope it’s not too late 🙂
