The list of items is definately a very nice summary and navigates nicely. I'm missing a few things tho (unless I didn't find them): - a small summary at the top of the object-info with e.g.: size and magnitude (which isn't always present in the info on the object) - remove items from your observation list 1 by 1 - when you click on an item.
