astrocalc - selecting coordinates for results

[GernotSchreider]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like to use ephemerides for an astronomical clock, therefore I need the results in ecliptic coordinates. Currently the results are presented in RA (J2000) and Dec (J2000) or Alt/Az only and there is no means to select other coordinates or formats. On the ephemerides tab there is a checkbox which switches between Alt/Az and RA/Dec result values but the intended solution would go beyond this to a more customizable result

Describe the solution you'd like It would be great to be able to get the results in RA and Dec for (Jnow) and/or the ecliptic longitude of the planet. I could think of a means to select various possible data and/or formats to select from and define the resp. columns to be calculated. E.g. dropdown list of RA/Dec (J2000), RA/Dec (JNow), eclipCoord (Long,beta) to select from and thus define the resp. column(s) for the calculation of the result. It would be great to also have the means to define the sequence of the columns and/or how many columns will be generated. in essence a way to define which columns in which order are to be generated should be provided.

Describe alternatives you've considered Alternative is cumbersome, namely to select the planet and manually adjust the date and read the result from the info text for the planet.
