Hello Jason,

  I have tested it and the tool is OK. I would like to see an entry in the 
main menu bar and be able to populate the list from the catalog or manually. 
It is a very good idea to fire the list from the right mouse button, but I 
think that it should not be the main entry point to this tool.

I can work in implementing an "import observing list" button in the calculator 
to use the batch mode. I do not know if Iwill be able to finish it before the 
freeze date. 

regards,

Pablo.
