Detailed Description

Tool window for managing a custom list of objects.

The window displays the Name, RA, Dec, mag, and type of each object in the list.

By selecting an object in the list, you can perform a number of functions on that object: + Center it in the display (TBD) + Examine its Details Window (TBD) + Point the telescope at it (TBD) + Attach a custom icon or name label (TBD) + Attach a trail (solar system only) (TBD) + Open the AltVsTime tool (TBD)

The user can also save/load their observing lists, and can export list data (TBD: as HTML table? CSV format? plain text?)

The observing notes associated with the selected object are displayed below the list. (TBD)

TODO: + Implement a "shaded" state, in which the UI is compressed to make it easier to float on the KStars window. Displays only object names, and single-letter action buttons, and no user log. + Implement an InfoBox version (the ultimate shaded state)
