I have noticed I have a new green icon on the imaging screen.  It looks like a target having several green circles.  What is it and how to turn it off?  It comes up now all the time and I do not recall changing any settings.  I guess when I did the update it started to appear.  I have tried reading the manual and searching some YouTube videos but have not found anything helpful.
Hope someone can tell me what it is and how to turn it off.
Thank you,
Jerry

Hello Jerry,
Click on the 'View' menu at the top of the PHD2 window. 
About half way down the options, you'll see 'Bullseye' is selected.
Click on 'No Overlay' just above that and the display will return to what you expected.
I guess you selected Target unintentionally before the last shut down.
There are several display screen overlays available.
I suspect the colour is determined by that chosen for the RA graph.
Cheers,

Sounds like a bookmark to me.

Click Bookmarks on the main menu.  Click Delete all.

Jack, under View I always turn on Bullseye.  I like it own all the time but on each startup I always have to turn it on.  Is there a way to make it always come on automatically on startup?

Jerry,  I don't think it's mentioned in the User Guide, but one of the experts will know.

These windows are always restored to their previous state and window position.  Bookmarks are only turned on by key sequences (e.g. 'shift' b) or by using the 'Bookmarks' pull-down menu.  It's fairly easy to fat-finger a key sequence that creates an unwanted bookmark, most of us have done it at one time or another.
