[APBeta] Default reticle colors...

[Bruce Pipes]

OK, I see how you have set it up. I now realize that with imagers,  
eyepieces and custom reticles each potentially having different colors  
you are navigating in complex waters.

I can live with the way you have it set up, but, if you do consider  
changes, I think I would prefer to do all the reticle color changes  
for both the FOV and the DSS image overlays in the FOV preference  
window, i.e. one color change button each for eyepieces, imagers and  
custom reticles. That would make the color changes occur in the FOV  
window immediately and in the DSS image overlays the next time the DSS  
image is opened. I realize this would make it hard to have different  
colors for different eyepieces, imagers, etc., but that is less  
important to me than having a simple way to set a color for each type  
of reticle.

Hoping for some decent weather so I can try AP2 on my scope.
