- For safety reason please add a big button “Abort Slew” while the mount is slewing to target
- Make the time in the up right corner in a different color when not actual time
Thank you!
Kind regards,

Bill Tschumy Nicolas,
Thanks for your suggestions.
1. People may continue to use SkySafari while the scope is slewing to the target. I don't want to cover the interface with a large "Abort" button. I may have gotten this request only once before, so it is unlikely to change. Sorry.
2. Color would not be a good option. If you are using the app at night you probably have night vision on or are using a red film. In that case the color difference would not be noticeable. I will think of other ways to so this information such as a font change.

Nicolas SOLDATI Thank you Bill for your answer.
1) I understand that people may have different needs and requests and a big button on the screen is not very appealing. But how to abort a slew if a wire is snagging or your scope is about to collide? I really love to control my scope with SkySafari Pro but I am a bit afraid to damage a several 10k $ setup because not being able to stop a slew. (There is maybe already a way to do that and I don’t know how).
2) Yes, changing the font would be a good idea (also working in night mode). Thank you for considering this update.

Bill Tschumy There is an Abort button, but just not as big as you are asking for. The GoTo button changes to Stop while a GoTo is in progress. Just tap that.
In the 8 years we have had SkySafari, I don't recall this being a problem for anyone.

Nicolas SOLDATI Excellent! I never noticed this change. Good to know. I am looking forward to try this feature next time I am at the observatory. Thank you for the tips!
