Notes

If you like peculiar galaxies, this is the release for you! The main feature of this release is the addition of the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies by Halton Arp and we've coupled this with a couple of requested changes and a few bug fixes to round everything out.

Software Updates

• Added ARP Catalog!
• Swapped direction of azimuth arrows in Locate screen per Cloudy Nights informal poll (see below)
• Change default exposure time to 0.4
• Exposure is now saved between sessions
• Made animation of GPS indicator more consistent among screens
• GPS Satellite count in status screen more reliable
• Accept 2d GPS fixes rather than wait for full 3d fix
• Allow wider range of FOV's to accommodate slightly different lens versions

Bug Fixes

• Bright Star Alignment no longer rejects very bright stars 🙌

Documentation

• Small typo fixes and clarifications

Thanks to everyone who took the time to weigh in on the Locate screen directional arrows for the Azimuth axis. We've swapped these for now as it seems to be the predominant intuition, but we are planning on making this customizable in the future.
