V6 allowed you to save your telescope, eyepiece, and CCD camera info in an equipment list and then made custom FOV indicators based on your equipment. They were extremely useful for planning observations. V7 allows me to save equipment lists, but then does not seem to do anything with that information. I can't find any way of displaying the equipment-specific FOVs that I used to be able to do in older versions. Please bring this back!

Siriusproductions It's still there, just sorta hidden compared to where it was in older versions. In the search box, type "FOV" and you will see the FOV Indicators sidebar pop up.

Nwa 6/1/21 Not Really in SNP+. Cameras are missing. And I cannot find the "From Equipment" promised in the User Guide. See screen shots.
The User Guide picture shows a FOV for Nikon D70. Yet my camera Edoes not show up in the FOV side pane.

Nwa Same is true for "From Equipment" feature. This should allow showing the FOV for different Focal Lengths, Focal Reducers, etc. I have not been able to find this feature. The original comment from above is from 6/13/14, that's seven years ago! It must have been fixed, I just cannot find the "From Equipment" feature.

Nwa And, Yes, I have all my equipment (Telescopes, Barlows/Reducers, Binoculars/Finders, Cameras, and Eyepieces) listed in "Equipment."
All I can figure is that the "From Equipment" is hidden somewhere and I have just not come across it yet. This is the eighth time I have tried to use SNP+ V8 and have given up in frustration.
