Best Sort for Observing? - Christina LeGrand - 2026-03-17

Hello All,

Christina LeGrand here.   With the weather getting warmer, I hear the call of the telescope to get back out there.   What have you all found to be the best sort sequence for presenting objects on an observing list?   I typically sort on "Best" or "Transit"; but invariably, I miss out on some early or late objects.   So I have been trying to sort on "Rise" and maybe "Best" within that.   Or "End".   Or ... ?  

Has anyone found a sort sequence they really like, that helps them see the most objects during a session?   Thanks for any ideas - I will be getting the scope out tomorrow night to give it a whirl.  

Thank you for any thoughts,
Christina LeGrand
