Great Red Spot

[Peter Gladstein]

This is a feature request. Kindly add a field in the View or Config window so you can input the current longitude of the GRS. If the field is blank then simulate. Thanks.

So, GUI will be bloat :(

We really need refactor it.

Perhaps you need an Advanced Tab

What we need is a dynamic rendering of the GRS, not the current kludge
"solution" (which, the last time I checked, involved messing up Jupiter's
whole coordinate system). GRS' coordinates can be stored in the ssystem.ini
and modified via the Solar System Editor plug-in. The same plug-in can also
handle modifying it or updating it from JUPOS or whatever way programs like
Cartes du Ciel use.
