Hello,

   I would like to suggest a couple of small additions to KStars. I know we 
are very very close to feature freeze and they were not rigourousely in the 
feature plan but may be considered part of some features which were included 
in the feature plan.

  I think we need a Set Zoom entry in the View menu. This entry would fire a 
small QSpinBox which allows to set an arbitrary zoom factor, within the zoom 
limits. This is simple to add.  

 Second one is that I would like to add to FOV an entry for a radiotelescope 
HPBW (Half Power Beam Width). This is very simple to code but the problem is 
that it depends on two parameters: wavelength and diameter of the 
radiotelescope (or maximum distance between antennas if it is an 
interferometer). This two parameters have nothing to do with the Edition 
screen for FOV for optical telescopes. I would need to create a new screen 
only for radiotelescopes.

  I want to try first the second one. If I am not in time I will leave this 
for KDE 3.3. I would also like to do the first one, but I think I will not be 
on time if I try both of them. 

What do you think?. May be is it to close to the KDE 3.2 release deadline and 
should be postponed for KDE 3.3?.

regards,

Pablo.
