I'm working on the code that will project the track against the chart view and the background stars. Which would be more useful, a track in alt/azm or one in ra/de? If you turn on tracks in the chart view of HeavenSat the track remains fixed relative to the alt/azm grid and if you zoom in to the south and watch the stars they drift past the track line. If track was dealt with the same way as the star background it would drift by the alt/azm grid and remain fixed relative to the reference stars. I would think that the latter would be more useful for the visual observer?
