Notes

This feature release adds Planets to the PiFinder catalog interface 🎉 . Also included is the ability to send targets from SkySafari or other apps to the PiFinder for Push-To locating and an interface for setting time/location via the web interface 🌐

Software Updates

• Planets Catalog! Once time/date is acquired a catalog of Planets will be available for your observing pleasure
• Allow Go-To command via LX200 interface. This enables sending targets not in the PiFinder catalog from SkySafari or other apps to the PiFinder. This is great for comets and other transients!
• Web Interface update to allow for setting time/date manually. Handy for debug or if you've forgotten your GPS dongle. Just click on the pencil link on the GPS status from the home page
