This third version adds yet another pop-up window for selecting potential targets on whichever date has been selected. The latter version added two new windows: A target altitude window that displays the altitude of the target over the selected night and information about the moon position, and a is a target image window that shows the DSS2 image (uploaded from of the target inside a box which represents the user’s currently active imager FOV in TheSkyX. Image Planner 3.0 is a follow-on to Image Forecast 2.0. The application utilizes TSX for basic object and location information.
