This is important to me, because one of my scopes is a large newtonian, which is currently unmounted and it would be nice to know what stars it is looking at (while it is standing on end in my driveway). I am writing to ask if Cartes du Ciel also has this feature? Your program, I know goes much deeper regarding faint star magnitudes compared to the Sky portal app. I am currently using the Celestron Sky portal application, which has the nice feature of marking the exact zenith of my location on the map while slowly scrolling the stars visible at this location as time passes. Saved circle file (.cdcc) include the coordinate equinox on the first row and more information for use with the mosaic tool.You can change this option in Setup/General/Server. Client/server communication can now use J2000 coordinates instead of the current chart setting.Mysql support will be removed in the next version. Depreciate the use of Mysql database and suggest to move to Sqlite if currently in use.Please use the corresponding ASCOM or INDI drivers. Remove obsolete/unmaintainable LX200 and Encoder direct drivers.If you need to keep this old elements or cumulate data from many source you must use the function from the menu Setup/Solar system.
