Jan 4, 2020Kirk1 PurchasedRating:The plugin runs well, no issues with it at all. I'd like options to turn on/off things like constellation, diameter, waning/waxing. Actually, I'm not sure what "Diam." is showing - the diameter of the moon is about 31 arcminutes or about 1860 arcseconds. The plugin is saying the diameter of the moon right now (1/04/2020) is 889.1". That's not anywhere near 1860". So it would be good to have the option to turn that off or fix the calculation.
