The Main Window

The main window is designed to be as simple as possible by hiding rarely used functionality. Two buttons are used to change the current action of the telescope, while drop down menus allow the selection of the target, the light beam and handpaddle settings. Core information vital to standard observations is displayed at the top of the window; this includes the current date and time as well as the Az/El coordinates of both the telescope and the selected target.
