2. below that is data from the Focuser position , 17.3C outside.
3. Next box down data about the mount and its position in the sky.
4. Middle box is the stacked photo made up of 143 photos .
5. to the right of the middle box you can see the focus curve and its data.
6. Below that you can see the target position in the sky relative to sunset left and sunrise to go with that there is a dotted line that show where the mount is on the night journey.
7. Top Right is the manual box for taking a photo manually.
8. The box below is the sequence steps the blue square is the stop button to stop the sequence manually.
9. The graph below that is the PHD-2 Guiding graph.

At the very bottom you can see a green box that is the shot time of the camera in this case 65% of a 2 min shot.

Also on the bottom flashes up the stacking steps what is happening to that photo till it get to the stack. The photo shows the edges of each photo as its stacked as its is put in place the green line around is the data that will be lost from the movement of dithering each photo. you always have to crop a small amount each side of the shot to get a clean edge and not show stacking artefacts.

It is only info and things you do need to know in this line of photography it a real blessing to have all the info in one place. I thought it would be good to share for those who just may be interested.
