Please continue to bug hunt. Bugs will get fixed, but not quite as  
quickly while I'm in the middle of slotting in a new chunk-o-code. If  
the bug is a "show stopper", it might get priority. e.g. no-one has  
reported bugs on certain parts of the app that I consider to be fairly  
buggy. e.g. printing, telescope control, etc. Not that I'm suggesting  
you down tools and rush on over there - we'll get to it eventually.  
It's just that if you do, say, try and print objects or observations  
and the app crashes straight off, then I should probably get that  
fixed ASAP.
