  1. Magnetic interference level indicator

    sort of like the metal detector app in the market but perhaps more sensitive and a number value for the interference level. It should be an option from the menu inside the app. It will aid not only in choosing a mounting location for a device but also for scope location choice. it will give users a good idea of the amount of magnetic interference in a chosen observing location.

  2. Allowing virtual DSC to act as a bluetooth service for other mapping software

    This could be used to allow other mapping software or devices to utilize the virtual DSC via BETI protocol or similar .

    Good idea. Such a service could be used by SkEye itself to connect to another (perhaps older) phone.

    I need to check whether Android allows custom bluetooth services to be defined.

  3. Overall opacity

    I love SkEye, and the night mode is excellent, but I often find even the night mode is still too bright for me and throws off my eye adjustment. Could there be an opacity setting implemented for the entire interface on top of the other opacity settings? If not, even just another opacity slider to take care of the things that don't have one yet would be awesome.

    Those of us using OLED displays could benefit quite a bit from that little extra darkness. :)

  4. Have a reverse color mode for the "Day" color mode.

    I like to set up my scope during the day for observing that night. Since my yard has several trees, I need to pick the right spot.

    I use Skeye for this in the "Time Machine" mode, but the black screen reflects the light from my face back to my eye and makes the screen hard to read. Also the contrast between the screen and the adjacent sky makes it even harder to see the screen.

    A daytime color mode with a white sky and black objects would solve this problem.

    I think.

  5. Make reticule scale easier to see. Maybe on screen readout .

    The Telrad like reticule scale is almost impossible to determine, especially night mode.
    Maybe an on screen read out if possible.

  6. In Indirect mode allow the same coordinate grids for the NCP as in the standard mode.

    Add the same coordinates so the North Celestial Pole is visible for accurate Polar alignment (pinch expandable).
