AstroImg@ZWO First of all, all this and more is available in Stellarium. I use the Windows version (which is free by the way), I have taken 360 degree panoramic shots from the 8 or so spots around my house from where I make observations, as while I can see most of the sky, I only see a small part from each location and knowing from which one a particular target is visible at what time of night is essential for me. I can select the overlay that corresponds to a particular location and moving forward in time I can decide what spot to use and at what time to take the shot - sadly Sky Atlas can do none of that, no ground image overlay, no moving forward in time. I only use SkyAtlas for the go to function and even that is lacking - there is no RA/Dec go to function, you have no idea what the RA/Dec coordinates for the center of the current frame are, you cannot zoom in beyond the frame size, the number of targets in Stellarium, both stars and galaxies, is at least 10x more than what you can search for in Sky Atlas, the list goes on and on.
So my current work flow is plan the night ahead of time using Stellarium - which spot to use, what to target and at what time so I do not get obstructed by buildings and trees, then try to find the target in Sky Atlas (or many times something nearby, like IC4587 for T Cor Bor, or IC3990 for SN2024iss) and try not to fall asleep at 3AM with phone in hand because SeeStar cannot do any of these things and cannot do automation either.
I know that you read these suggestions, and you are working on some of them and it takes time but some of them are trivial and 5 months have passed since I started asking for some of these improvements and absolutely nothing has happened.
