Hi Paul,
I'd like to see the B option. Putting it in version V2.whfo would be
fine for me too.
Starter question, no conferring please:
Is it one session when I'm using two scopes at two (or more) sites that
are thousands of miles apart but pointed at the same target? Or is it a
session per site, or per scope even (might be using a wide and narrow
angle scope at one site)?
I should probably shut up now and climb back under my asteroid.
Regards
Robin
