I am delighted with the attention to Double Stars in SS6pro: the orbital models & description data & angular separation data, etc. (& I have included some screenshot videos in the album at the link below)!

1) When orbiting an object like a multiple star system, is there a way I can set my orientation to have the Sun = our solar system 'at my back' = the approximate relative perspective of view of the system I would see from Earth?
I think that if I start at Earth the select 'orbit object' that this might initially provide this specific orientation (though is that indeed actually the case?) but when clicking a second member of a multiple star system or shifting between systems the orientation appears to change to be 'the view from the direction I came from' rather than the 'view from the orientation with Earth at my back'...being able to click a button to orient me with Earth at back (or perhaps also to the various celestial coordinate systems so that I could, for example, also see the inclination of a system relative to the galactic plane or to the ecliptic plane) would be very helpful.
I tried selecting coordinate system from settings but see that it is 'grayed out' when orbiting an object (screenshot included in album above)
2) Also, I see that I appear to need to be attentive to 'my location in the galaxy' when sorting an observing list by magnitude or constellation as these appear to be calculated in the 'Info' relative to my current location / object orbited & I tend to bounce between 'orbit object' view & 'an Earth based location view' (screenshot animation included in album above). Is this the expected behavior for how SS6 reports constellation & magnitude information in 'Info'?
3) for DoubleStars, for now, SS6pro appears to be farther ahead than SN8:
Thanks & Kind regards, Chadwick
