Bug Description

Good evening,

When I set the star magnitude limit, it is applied but not persistent, the limit magnitude becomes 9,63 every time I change ocular or restart the program.

Are you saved changed value as default?

Yes I did, in the configuration (F2) menu : "Enregistrer tous les réglages" (French).

Once again there are misunderstandings.

A while ago we introduced two sets of limiting magnitudes, one for naked-eye and one for ocular views, and switching between them was OK.

Shortly after that, Alex added telescope limiting magnitudes from some model (Schaefer?), which is great. However, the manual mode is indeed currently broken or at least confusing.

I think it should work like this:

Rename the switch to "Auto-compute limiting magnitude".

With "Limit magnitude" in the Main GUI on, the switch between the two pairs of manually configured magnitudes should work as before.

With "Auto-compute limiting magnitude" activated, enabling ocular view, or changing either telescope or ocular in ocular view, should re-compute telescope magnitude.
