========================================
<p>(For Thierry with love &lt;3 :-)</p>

<p>The semi-expert drive control panel uses various terms for the zenith angle: &quot;Altitude (zenith angle)&quot;, &quot;Elevation&quot;, &quot;Angle&quot;. &quot;Zenith Angle&quot;.&nbsp;<br />
It would be less confusing, if only one and the same term were used over all places in the GUI.</p>

<p>After we issued the tracking command, giving RA/Dec, the GUI displayed</p>

<ul>
	<li>&quot;Tracking in process&quot; when the telescope was still moving, and the tracking point was not reached.</li>
	<li>&quot;Action in progress.Please wait ...&quot;, when the telescope was actually tracking.</li>
</ul>

<p>We believe these two should be exchanged. Maybe even a colour code (yellow when still going to the tracking point, indicating that the telescop is not in nominal operation, and green when tracking is ongoing) could help the shiftcrew to understand in one glimpse where we are.</p>
