Hi Phil,
Thank yous so much for your answer.
I use ST4.1.14 Visual pro and I manage it with much pleasure and success.
I know all the possibilities you describe, and I use them routinely.
I haven't probably well describe my purpose: I have no problem with any OL, which are currently displayed by ST4 visual as a spreadsheet.
What I would wish is to display the targets of an OL on the interactive atlas.
Tet me give you an exemple:
OL: all the Dunlop doubles stars, with m<7.0v, and separation > 3.0".
In the spreadsheet of this OL (that I have done without problem), I click on, said, DUN 126, then "more infos", then interactive atlas.
I can see the sky centered on DUN 126. If my telescope is connected, I click on the star identified as DUN 126A, and the scope points at it.
As long as I do that, I have no problem.
But, on the map of the interactive atlas, I haven't any indication of where the others Dunlop double stars of my OL are.
Perhaps they are numerous on the surrounding, perhaps they are sparse, perhaps most of them are too low to be correctly observed, or too high in the forbidden zenith of my dobson, and so on. Perhaps, I have already observed the one on the right, and no the one on the left of the map.
All the answers of the questions might be visually resolved in second, if I would be able to see these DUN xxx on the map of the interactive atlas..
I think this feature would be a big 'plus" for visual observers.
Regards
Bertrand
