[APBeta] user contributed plans - APBeta Digest, Vol 29, Issue 4

Mon Sep 6 19:39:07 PDT 2010

  Paul and Igor, I am running Win 7 64 bit and I can see 6 "Small 
Wonders ..." plans, each with a 9/6 date, in the "10 most recent ... " 
list.  I did not look anywhere else for the plans.

Under what condition(s) should I be able to see the "Sync to Object" 
button active?  It seems no matter what I do I can not cause it to 
become active.  I am running ASCOM platform with Temma driver beneath that.

Also it seems that when I try to "Slew to Object" I am always taken 
through "High Precision Slewing" screen where I have to select "Slew to 
Target" button to start the slew action.  It does not seem logical to 
make that intermediate stop and additional selection.  It seems more 
logical to have a "Select Bright Star" button on the main screen and 
select that if I am trying to check or obtain telescope alignment.  What 
am I not understanding here?

Both of these behaviors have been present over the last several versions.

Thank you!
