DescriptionHello Patrick,

do you think it would be possible/useful to let CCDciel get the observatory location from GPS (i.e. gpsd)?

Thank you.

Or maybe a mini DB of preferred locations, like we have in CdC?

At the moment the idea for CCDciel is the following:

- Can get the location from the mount (in Device setup / mount).
This is for mount with GPS, not sure how this work with Indi eqmod+gps because the location is get right after the connection and maybe everything is not synchronized. I am interested if you can test. There is also the problem with the time, I cannot set the computer time from CCDciel so it must be set to within 1 second of the gps by another mean.

- Otherwise use a different profile for every location. For many people there can be enough difference in the setting at different location to use a different profile.

But this is right I can add a box to save the preferred locations, this can be useful for people moving the same equipment to a few location.

I add a preset list for observatory : https://github.com/pchev/ccdciel/commit/482a0d441180b129c38b4b9baf882e494d13a25a
This will be in next version.

The list is saved automatically when the preferences window is closed, so to populate the list just open different profile with different observatory and save the preferences.
All the fields are saved and restored when you select another location.
There is a button to remove an entry that is no more need.
