Planning Assistant -- future dates

Now that I have had time to work with the new Planning Assistant in v3.0, I consider it to be the most useful addition to SGP since the revamp of the auto focus system. One way to make the PA even more useful would be for it to support a “planning date.” Currently the PA assumes all the setup work is for the current date. Often times I am planning my imaging targets two or three months in advance. For example, this weekend I am putting together a sequence file of three targets I want to image in December. The lunar cycle in December means my imaging window will be Dec 11th thru the 21st. I would like to put a date, like Dec 16th into the PA and have it show everything based on that date.

Of course, when a sequence file is loaded, the various calculations for target start and end times would still be based on the current date.
