Displaying stars in daytime Finder Chart

[theskyhound]

Here is how to do what you want to do. Use the Interactive Atlas. Target the North (or South) Celestial pole. Click the Eyepiece View button to open the Eyepiece Viewer. Select your telescope and eyepiece. This will place an appropriate eyepiece circle on the atlas, centered on the pole. Dismiss the Eyepiece View window. At the top of the Atlas, under where it says Coordinate System and Projection, select "Horizon" as the coordinate system. Leave the projection at Auto. Set the Time Step to something appropriate, perhaps 10 minutes. Click the time step arrows to see the view rotate.

I have to admit that one of my secret wishes is that people would start out by simply telling me what they want to do. It would save so much time and trouble. The magnitude limits and other aspects of this chart are highly customizable so you should be able to achieve the result you want. Let me know if you have any questions.

It is more difficult to answer your question about some things being visible in the eyepiece view during the day, but I but believe this is a feature of the Pro version that is designation to force some objects to be visible in the eyepiece view that have no magnitude or size associated with them, and thus the algorithm can't determine if they are visible. Otherwise, there would be no way to find these objects on a chart.
