Paul,

No urgency in this; when you have killed most of the bugs, I'd  
appreciate your taking a look at it, though. I'd like to be able to  
control-click on a point in a DSS image and create an object in a plan  
centered on that point. You can currently do this in the FOV window,  
but if your are trying to center a particular feature of a DSO in an  
imager you have to get the RA and Dec from the DSS image, set the  
cursor to that point in the FOV, and control-click. It would be great  
not to have to transfer the coordinates from the DSS image to the FOV.

Now what would be ever better, but not essential, would be to be able  
to do the above by overlaying the DSS image on the FOV.

Thanks,
Bruce
