Plan tab Readin produces "Sun" #12

Closed rrskybox closed 1 year ago

Re # 1 in Issue 11: Sometimes Read in or load a target such as NGC 2023 for some reason loads the "Sun" instead. I delete it and try again as the workaround. Eventually, it goes away. Wierd.

During initialization, one of the last things Humason does is perform a Find on the Sun in order to determine dusk and dawn times. if "Read In" is applied in the Plan tab before any target is selected in the TSX, star chart then "Sun" will be returned. "Sun" is actually a legitimate target so it can't be simply discarded out of hand. The current target list could be empty as well so one of those targets would not do for a substitute. i'll simply add a note to the doc to cover this special case.
