<div dir="ltr">Hi Bruce,<div><br><div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
I think we can expand this to the visual observer by creating a print out for<br>
each object. So if the astronomer picks 15 objects to observe in a session.<br>
Say that he/she is observing visually. Now we give them the ability to print<br>
out page/s for each object to be observed, much like we do with the print<br>
wizard. Then the next day the observer can come home and record his/her<br>
results in Kstars.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, this is indeed a good idea. It is also not hard at all to implement, as it would require only a list of sky objects to be passed to the printing wizard.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
I noticed that in the Planning Session feature has a place to put notes. How<br>
does one review old observations? It seems to me that the whole point to<br>
keeps notes is that you can go back to them for review and research. Maybe<br>
there should be a search feature.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This would be a nice addition too. Also, not a big deal to implement.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
Could we make the Notes section more like the Print Wizard printout? I see a<br>
specific place for sky conditions eye pieces used, automatic calculation of<br>
magnification based on telescope and each eye piece used. This information can<br>
be taken for the Equipment section. Caveat: If a observer has more than one<br>
telescope we might need a menu (drop down) to choose telescope and eye pieces.<br>
Maybe be the observations could be tied to a calendar?</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
How will a observer enter his/her data. Well I see two methods the first is<br>
base on Kstars present setup. The observer would have to search out each<br>
object in his/her list via the sky view, centre it and then right click and<br>
choose Details, then log. What I like to see added would be a method to do<br>
the same thing, but via the Observation Plan, Session Plan.<br>
<br>
Question: What is the point of a Observation Plan, Session Plan, and note<br>
taking? You don't just take notes to forget about them, they are there for<br>
future review and research. Lets take Kstars to the next level lets beef up<br>
the note taking capability.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I agree that note-taking is not a strong point of KStars right now. I am working on OAL support - if everything goes fine, it should be in master branch during this summer (my MSc thesis is keeping me busy right now). The idea is that with OAL-compliant logging, the only thing that would be required apart from it, is this simple note-taking feature. What's your opinion on that?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Many thanks for your suggestions!</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers!</div><div>Rafal</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
