For the first maybe there is a way and I haven't discovered it…

1. When I go to add equipment to a new image it's handy to have the quick links for the equipment I've used. However over time as equipment changes the quick links aren't removed. So please let me know if there's a way to remove scopes, cameras, etc. from showing as quick links in the equipment page. 

2. It would be a nice convenience feature to have a "set" of standard equipment. If someone is always imaging with the same setup (which I imagine applies to many people) it would be nice to have a simple button to just put everything in. Perhaps it could do everything but software at the least. It would be nice not to have to select PixInsight over PixInsight LE every time as PixInsight LE hasn't been a thing for many years.

3. In the acquisition page it would be nice if there was a way of specifying which mosaic panel the acquisition data belongs to. For example, I've posted a 4 image mosaic. I've just duplicated the information for each panel but it always will show as if I did 4x the exposure time that I have. Perhaps if there was a way of grouping by mosaic panel there could be two values shown: total integration across the mosaic and total time it took to image the mosaic. Also it may be that some panels end up with more integration time than others.

Hi @TurtleCat,

thank you for the feature requests.

This is not possible at the moment, but I'll add it to my list. I cannot give you an estimate for when it might be released tho, as I'm working on a large project right now that I can't wait to finish...

You can do this already. See the Load/Save preset buttons at the bottom of the equipment form!

Agreed, I also want to add this feature as soon as possible. It's on my list and I will announce it on the newsletter when it's done.

Thank you!
