Hi Greg,
your last two e-mails were helpful.
The attached might illustrate what I have been looking for. It shows objects from three different observing lists: 1) Turn Left at Orion, 2) carbon stars and 3) color-contrast doubles. Each has its own layer in my GIS application and each can be filtered in any way based on the ST4 characteristics. Zooming in bring up the object designations. Clicking on any object brings up details. Etc., etc. Not very different from ST4's Overhead Sky but focused on fileterd objects from selected observing lists.
You will no doubt :-) tell me that I shouldn’t have bothered but I find this very helpful in making up my mind about what to find and then use ST4 to figure out how best to find it.
Best regards, tiha
