Direct Telescope Control Buttons on Chart #1238

Open poochpa opened 4 years ago

poochpa commented 4 years ago

I would like an option for a window in the corner of the main screen that has direct sync and slew buttons for telescope control, much like Carte du Ciel has. My imaging setup consists of a mini pc at the scope that I wirelessly remote into from a tablet or phone via VNC. Directly pressing a sync or slew button with the cursor-pointer when using a VNC utility is much easier than using keystroke combinations. Other Stellarium users have indicated that they also would like to see this option added. Thanks.

There are slew and sync buttons on the telescope panel. (Press "Current object", then "Slew")

Hi Georg, Yes, I know that and use them. But you first have open the telescope panel to use them and the panel takes up a lot of room on the sky chart. I was thinking along the lines of direct sync and slew buttons like Carte du Ciel has. Thanks. Mike
