I purchased Observatory to help catalog EAA images taken via an ASIAir. With the Air, I am saving a stacked FITS locally, but when I hit the save as viewed button it drops a full res capture, as seen on the screen, into my iPad Photos. This is the image I use, so now I copy out from Photos into my "SORT" folder (the names are IMG_xxx.JPG) and then have to go about the process of manually updating everything from my notes or memory.
A couple of questions ...
1) is it possible to allow us to drag and drop a "tag" from a plate solve into the name field instead of having to type?
2) since Observatory has access to file details of the JPG, is there a way to have it auto import the date based on the creation date in the file?
3) would it be possible to add a "Scope Setup" option where we can pre-configure our scope and cameras and instead of typing that information in manually, just select from a drop down option? Or configure a default so all images would get the same instrument information?
With EAA, you might observe 20 targets per session instead of a single target, so the nature of handling the catalog seems a little different to me. I think a few tweaks like above would be very beneficial to us EAA-ers.
But the software does seem quite capable and I think I can fit it into my workflow as-is, just with a lot of manual entry. I'll keep exploring what it can do.
Thanks!
