Improved Observation Notes Management

Would like to be able to access and manage my observation notes more easily. By catalog designation (Messier, NGC, Caldwell, etc) object type, name, constellation for example.

    We hope to beef up observing lists and observation in the new major release.  I'll see what I can do.

    The ability to export/email observations only would be great.  It would be nice if they were in some sort of excel/word format for archival purposes.  That way I could print them into a binder if I wanted.

    Emailing a list already exists.  On iOS you can specify a CSV format that can be imported to a spreadsheet.  The CSV option doesn't currently exist on Android.

    I'm talking about emailing my typed up observing comments, and not the observing list itself.  

    CSV would be nice on android too.  That's what I'm running.

     On Android, it always includes your typed notes in the sent observing list.  Admittedly it is in the .skyist file format but it is a human readable file

    CSV will be coming in the future..

    Bug: Limiting magnitude; no decimals are accepted. So 5,6 becomes 5,00
    Sky quality: the same problem. 18,8 becomes 18,00
