Now the font size is OK.

Anyway, when trying it this time i noticed one more problem. The crosshair lines are too thin and on bright background like white wall the crosshair is barely visible. Maybe this is not a big issue on lowres displays.

In version 0.2.7 (on OS X) it appears that the cross hairs (e.g. 4x4) only show up when the image is not zoomed. I would think that telescope polar alignment would work best with the cross hairs visible at all zoom levels, if possible.

Oops, regarding no cross-hairs when zoomed on OS X, I have a Nikon D800.

Thanks

Hello used the crosshair last evening, cool feature!
Beisdes also haveing a bit of an issue with the thin lines (my eyes are the issue, not your lines, tho :) ) I would like to add a note :

when we use the double crosshair in astronomy, we are often doing drift alignment and for this the crosshair must cover the whole screen (side to side) as we place a star between the lines normally close to the borders to orient the camera to the motion (RA, Elev) of the scope mount.
Any chance you could make the double CH extending from border to border?

Thanks!
Francesco
