Known bugs / planned changes
Sky brightness: currently calculated using algorithim of Krisciunas & Schaefer (1991), which calculates V-band sky brightness. Requires input of yearly mean darktime sky brightness (at Zenith), and the average extinction, for each site. Testing this - may produce odd results.
Choose telescope: need data on other 'scopes in list and any other 'scopes likely to be used. Still waiting for PLANET 'scopes:
hobart
perth
La Silla (dutch & mpg-eso)
Time: would be nice to have current time shown in form when 'now' selected, but this is possibly more difficult to implement than it is worth.
Fits: problems with fitting parameters to some events (NaN values returned), which is being looked into. Often discrepancies between PLENS fitted parameters and OGLE values.
