How Come In SkySafari 7 Pro The CCD Frames Are CCD Frame Always Orientated To The Zenith? (Answer: We Are Working On It - Read On!)

The CCD frames are much better handeled in SkySafari 6. Can the settings do the same in SkySafari 7. now the frames are not always in the center and the orientation is coppelt to the Mount beeing connected.

    Hi,

     
    I have here 5 Screenshot:
     
    1  SkySafari 7 with Scope not connected. The CCD Frame is always orientated to the Zenith.

    2. SkySafari 7 with Scope connected. The CCD Frame is now orientated in the right direction but not centered.

    Scope connected with switched off the Sope controls.

    3. SkySafari 6 with Scope not connected. The CCD Frame is alway in the center and when I center another Object the CCD Frames stayed in the center.

    The behavior in SkySafari 6 is much better for planning observations!

    In Testflight they ask for a Code. Where I can get it?

    Hi Keiron,

     

    it took a long time for downloading the Beta version. Now I can test.

    The first thing I have seen, is that the CCD frames are now handled  better. But I don't understand why you change the orientation if you set to Local. I still want to plan and see what is happening in the sky with my existing setup.

    Hi,

    if you highlight an objekt there are only this 4 short lines visible. The objekt itself is not brighter than others. If you are looking and try to find obkect you can not be sure wich one you have selected.

    As you can see the small 4 short lines are not so easy visible and you have to find out to which objekt it belongs.

    Sorry, 

    I still do not understand what small short lines you are referring to.

    Please use the iOS screenshot Mark Up tools to circle the lines in questions.

    Thanks!

    Thank you for the settings file!

    How would you propose the issue with elected object cross-hairs visibility be improved?

    The solution in Version 6 was better. There the objekt itself is highlithed. Better it would be if the color would change to another one.

    Hi Keiron,

    this is not a bug report, Just a wish. Do you think it is possible to show a horizon line when the screen shows the Equator view?
