Hi Steve

My SNP 6.3.6 shows:
Titania 13.94
Ariel 14.37
Umbriel 15.02
Oberon 14.15
Miranda 16.52.

It only appears to show the magnitudes of the moons of Uranus if I hover the mouse over each moon in turn; I cannot find a list or display magnitude option?

SkyTools also does the same in its “interactive Atlas” although it only displays the 4 brighter moons. However, SkyTools does have an “Object Information” panel which displays magnitude and separation details for the 4 moons on an information panel.

Cheers

Dennis
