FOV - New Behavior w/SNP?

[Jim McMillan]

Hi Bob,

I'm not sure this is a new behavior or not. When targeting an object in SNP via its calalogue name (e.g. NGC 6992) and right-clicking to add to a Plan, the time moves forward a little more than 2 minutes. I assume Planner is adding some ACP overhead to the time (like an AutoFocus). The FOV in SNP doesn't change. However, if I alter the FOV a little by dragging the SNP screen and right-clicking to add the current FOV, the SNP screen ends up moving what appears to be the 2+ minutes. The Plan works ok with the desired FOV (RA/DEC coordinates are right), but it's a bit disconcerting that the target in SNP isn't where you want it any more.

I've never noticed this before, so I think it might be a new thing...

Probably a change in SNP, maybe an optimization. Filed a ticket:
