How to filter a list based on DEC?

Hi Bram,

It sounds like you have a unique approach in mind for your observing sessions. Normally, the status feature is used to keep track of what you've already observed, rather than what you plan to observe. The built-in filters aim to help you select objects that are ideal for observing on a particular night.

If you could share more details about why you'd like to sort and select objects this way, I might be able to offer a solution that fits your needs or suggest another way to achieve your goal.

As for selecting a group of entries, you can use the multiple selection column (the one with the red check mark). Here's how:

    Left-click in the column next to the first entry you want to select.
    Scroll down to the last entry in your desired group.
    While holding down the Shift key, left-click again next to the last entry.

This will select all the entries between the first and last one you clicked on.

Looking forward to hearing more about your observing strategy!

Greg,

I'm going to Chile.  May have 2-4 nights of observing.  I have a list of Southern Hemisphere objects (BAMBOS 600).   Given that my home turf is DEC +30 and I can see down to say -50 from here, I want to filter the list to the range -50 to -90. 

Thanks,

Bram
