Coordinates grid
Icon: grid
Menu: Overlay => Grid
Short key: Alt+G
Activating a grid can be done either with the “grid” icon located below the view, or using
the menu “Overlay => Grid”. The grid step depends on the current zoom factor in order
to only display a reasonable number of sectors. The grid frame is the same as the one
used to display the current location with the mouse. It is not possible to display
simultaneously different grids corresponding to different referentials.
If the zoom factor is very small (1/512x), the grid can seem truncated if the astrometrical
solution of the current image is inaccurate to compute a location far off the image (e.g.
digitized Schmidt plate).
Target arrow
Menu: Overlay => Target Arrow
Short key: Alt+T
When an image was queried either by location or by object name (see 5.2
– server selector), a small red arrow gives the location in the image. This
arrow can be deleted using the menu item “Overlay => Target Arrow”.
Multi-view
In order to compare more easily several images, it can be useful to create several view
simultaneously. The main panel can then be divided in 2, 4, 9 or 16 sub-panels. Each of
these panels can display a different image and superposed graphical additions. These
images can sample different regions of the sky or the same one. It is also possible to use
different panels for a single image, for example in order to visualise different details in
this image.
Number of views
Icon: multiview
Menu: Edit => Multiview …
Short key: F1, Shift+F2, F2, F3,
F4
Modifying the number of visible views
can be done either with the “multiview”
selector located at the bottom left of
the view panel, or with the menu “Edit
=> 1, 2, 4,9, or 16 panels”. If the views
that are used are more numerous than
the number of available panels, then a
sliding bar appears on the right of the
main window and enables you to
access the other views. Up to several
