Alt-AZ RA/Dec toggle

Regarding Sky Safari 6 Pro. 

When a scope is connected, 3 'dots' appear on the right edge of the tab.  Pressing the dots opens a window that allows you to slew the scope to a specific RA/Dec.  Could you please add a toggle to switch between RA/Dec and Alt-Az?

    We can consider that.  It is unusual to go to an alt/az.  What are you needing to do that?

    Thank you Bill!

    I have a scope permanently mounted in my observatory.  At the end of an observing session, I return the scope to it's parked position which is 180° azimuth, 20° altitude.  Being able to go to those coordinates directly with SkySafari would be easier than having to disconnect and then use the hand control.

    I appreciate your consideration!

    Happy New Year!

    Ah, I see.  That is a valid reason.  I have added it to our list of possible enhancements.
