But as it is at the moment its a ripper.

Let me think about that one a bit, Al. I've used the e.graphics draw commands to do the circles and cross hairs, so I'm not sure how to do the movable text in any sensible way yet... but I'll work on it.

And thanks for the out of collimation example image!

Don't mind me....
That's OK, Chris. I don't mind at all... I say and do dumb things increasingly more frequently these days...
