Target List Selection for the New Sim

Not a bug but just a suggestion on functionality.

In the old sim, those of us with multiple scopes could look at the entire list of nebulas and pick and chose based on the particular scope, since it saved the scope info with the target and you could see where it was in the sky. In the new sim, you have to arrow through all of the targets in the target list one at a time to see versus being able to pick from the list which is pretty cumbersome. If there is another way to do it, I have not been able to find it thus far.

I supposed we could break up the target lists by scope and maybe by season but it would at least be nice to be able to do a pick list on the left side of the screen once you select the particular target list you want.

I suggest this assuming that the Planetarium will eventually replace the simulator. If that is not the case and they serve two different purposes then you can ignore this suggestion.

Hey Rod,

You can already switch lists, by clicking on the lists icon. Being able to see all targets of a list is a good idea, so I’m adding it to the backlog, thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks. I do have separate lists and do change between nebulas, galaxies, etc , as you mentioned, but I don’t have my Nebula list broken up by the SCT, Rokinon, Redcat, etc and wasn’t looking forward to breaking up all my lists and ending up with 10+ target lists. Even more if I was breaking targets up by winter and summer.

Appreciate you listening and adding it to the queue.
