Hello @Jeffshy. Keep in mind, I'm still in learning mode, but I love it that you do EAA too. I can *maybe* help with question 1.
When you get ready to do your *first* log of the night, I *think* what we're being trained to do is right-click the object and choose "Create Log Entries." (Note that it's plural.) The idea behind this selection is aimed squarely at the point you raise. Fill to as many boxes as you can that will carry over to subsequent log entries - then hit "Save" (lower right). On Subsequent log entries, you can now right-click and choose "Create Quick Log Entry" and all your defaults will be filled in automatically. How 'bout that? It's like Greg was reading your mind! : ) (It's because he actually uses the software for his own astronomy too! : ) ) Note the shortcut key -- "L" (I'm using an upper case "L" so it won't look like an upper case of the letter i) -- which means you don't even have to right-click and search for a sub-menu in the context menu.
I also know you can save an image for each observation. Just double-click the object, select the "Images" tab (from the 12 available tabs) then choose "Add."
When you get ready to export your list - now that's where we need a "pro" to chime in. I haven't discovered any way yet to export a list with images.
Hope that at least helps on *something* you asked. : )
Keep observing. Love it that there's another EAA user here. I've got my credit card out too. : )
