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
