Astronome — TODO

Missing Spec Items

• Settings — catalog info — shows last refreshed date + DB size in App Info table
• Detail Drawer Tab 3 — workflow card — WorkflowCard renders steps + notes (was already built, now confirmed)
• Stats page — guiding charts — Guiding RMS over time as a proper LineChart (Total/RA/Dec lines)
• Calendar day panel — weather — clicking a day shows go/nogo, temp, cloud cover, seeing from 7timer
• New Moon timeline — best targets overlay — top 3 emission nebulae shown per new moon window (from /api/calendar/new-moon-windows)

---

New Features

High Priority

• Integration progress tracker — per-target progress bar (% of goal hours) with color coding; goal hours from CLAUDE.md §16.3 table; shown on TargetRow in a "Goal" column
• Nightly recompute trigger — "Recompute Tonight" button in Settings → POST /api/nightly/recompute
• Export imaging log as CSV — "↓ Export Log CSV" button on Stats page → GET /api/log/export

Medium Priority

• Object planning notes — per-target free-text field in Detail Drawer Tab 4; saved to target_notes table; auto-saves on blur
• Filter accumulation breakdown — keepers-only integration per filter shown in Detail Drawer Tab 4 (above session list); from /api/log/:id filter_breakdown field
• Moon avoidance cone on altitude curve — blue shading when moon is above horizon; amber shading when moon sep < 30°

Nice to Have

• Seasonal visibility heatmap — 12-month alt/usability grid (the Yearly tab already exists but could be improved with a visual heatmap calendar view)

---

Observing & Planning

• Tonight run order — auto-sort visible targets by imaging window with handoff times shown as a timeline: "M8 22:10→23:45 → IC1805 00:05→02:30". Dashboard card + Targets page sort option.

• Moon separation live warning — red banner on Dashboard when the moon is within 20° of tonight's best target. Data already computed in nightly_cache.moon_sep_deg.

• Altitude urgency indicator — flag objects that have a short window tonight AND are near their seasonal peak (compare alt_at_midnight from yearly data to historical max). "NGC891 sets at 01:30 — last good chance until October." Show as a badge on TargetRow.

• Imaging time calculator — given target + filter, estimate number of 3-min subs needed to reach a usable SNR. Use sensor specs from config.rs (pixel scale, focal ratio, bortle) to compute sky background noise. More precise than the fixed hours table.

---

Equipment & Sessions

• Integration gap detector (build first) — Dashboard card showing targets that have data in one filter but are missing the companion filter. "IC1805: 2h Ha · 0h OIII — one session away from complete." Driven by filter_breakdown data already in the DB. Low-effort, high-value.

• Dew heater alarm — when dew margin drops below 3°C (already computed in weather_cache), show a persistent full-width banner and trigger a browser notification. More aggressive than the current warning.

• Session checklist — collapsible pre-session checklist (polar alignment, focus, guiding RMS < 1″, dew heater, battery). Simple boolean checkboxes that auto-reset each evening at dusk.

• Equipment profiles — settings table for telescope/camera configs (focal length, aperture, sensor, pixel size). Ability to switch active profile so FOV and plate scale calculations update. Useful when upgrading gear.

---

Post-Processing

• NINA Target Scheduler import — parse NINA Target Scheduler zip (askar71f.zip at project root) to bulk-import targets and existing session history.

• PixInsight WBPP project generator — button on Detail Drawer Tab 3 that generates a ready-to-use WBPP folder structure (or .xisf project stub) for the selected filter + workflow. Eliminates manual setup before processing.

---

Catalog & Discovery

• Sharpless catalog (Sh2) — add Sh2 emission nebulae via VizieR (catalog VII/20). Covers Lion, Dolphin, Cave, and ~300 more — already referenced in popular_names.rs but missing from the catalog sources. Add alongside VdB/LDN in catalog/mod.rs.

• Check LdN and VdB implementations (fetch LDN from internet), and popular_names.rs

• "Similar targets nearby" suggestions — in Detail Drawer Tab 1 or Tab 2, show 2–3 objects of the same type in the same constellation that transit within 1 hour of the current target. Useful for filling the rest of a night.

• Observation history timeline — vertical timeline on the Stats page showing all sessions chronologically with gallery thumbnails where available. No new data needed — just a different view of imaging_log JOIN gallery.
