Hello beta list
thought i'd send in my first comments on the beta:

loved:
-the constellation view
-image fov overlay
-more dense sky star field
-ability to see astonomical twilight time with large windows font
-addition of imager to eyepiece selection
-new objects view, which looks like a merger of the old objects and 
observations view

bugs:

-uninstall deleted the v1.6 .exe file

-sort by transit time now sorts with a max value of 11:59AM instead of 
11:59PM (23:59) which i've grown used to.  forcing 24 hour mode does not 
change this

-image viewer: is there a way to "unenhance contrast" after you've 
enhanced it?

-fov image overlay, the rotation angle only lists the last two digits of 
the angle, eg 270:=70 (using windows XP with large font)

-image ovelay in FoV mode seems to leave a residual when you add a new 
image in a completely different location of the sky, or change rotation 
when using "all images overlapping the FoV" which i think is selected by 
default

-thanks
