I am a very satisfied user of Sky Safari 6 Plus, and I recently purchased Galaxy View and H-R Diagram as in app purchases. I use SS 6 P all the time to slew my Celestron 8SE, and recently to obtain alt-az coordinates for my push-to AWB 130 five inch reflector. I also use SS 6 as a teaching tool and thus my request for future versions of Galaxy View: It would be a powerful addition to give Galaxy View the ability to save the positions of multiple Globular Clusters to accumulate the "halo" mentioned in many astronomy texts. If mousing over the position of many globular clusters gave their position from the sun, or better yet from the center of the galaxy, then a 3-D model of the Globular Cluster could be made using the Galaxy View data. That would be an amazing feature. Thanks for considering this request, and thanks for producing such elegant software.

Bill Tschumy Steve,
If I understand you, I think this is already possible. You can make an observing list of all the globular clusters and highlight it. Then tap the "highlighted list" button at the bottom of the chart and choose "Show List in Galaxy View". You will get something like the attached image. You can do this with any observing list of objects.
