Hi, just bought SSP 6 and I'm missing a great planning tool I used on starmap pro app. Along side the graph for height of an objet during the night, you also had another graph that shows the midnight height during the year. Thats a great tool for planning when its the best option during the year to go and see the desired object, and I can't believe you don't have this functionality implemented in this great app. Beside the great app SSP 6 is, I'm a little disappointed that you don't have a great tool an almost 10 year old app has. Please consider adding this second graph to your graph object tool, I'm attaching a screenshot of starmap2 app that shows this kind of graph (bottom graph is midnight elevation during the year):

  Thanks for the suggestion.  We hope to do this sometime within the next year.

  I also think that this graph is useful. And, I want to say that the current height chart is uncomfortable. Look carefully at the screenshot. The height chart has a clock. There are no hours in SkySafari. To determine the time, I have to move the graphics. This is inconvenient, plus it changes the current time on the map.

  An example of good graphics in the screenshot. One look and I understand the best time to observe.

  Hi. Any news on this ? One would think this can be achieved by zooming out on the graph, but I'm afraid this is broken (Altitude changes abnormally when zooming out slowly...) and as a result I'm not trusting what I see. Also it becomes impossible to know the max altitude of an object for a given location, or the time of year when it will be at a specific altitude.
