<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On a semi-related point, it would be cool if there
was a column in the observing or planning lists that could somehow summarize the
information in the "Annual Visibility" graphic... perhaps a "Best Month For
Viewing" column.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It would be nice to have automatic seasonal
sorting, rather than doing it manually ....unless it's already there and I've
just never found it :-). Personally I prefer by season (or month), then by
constellation, then elevation.</FONT></DIV>
