I'll reverse sky FOV left to right to match scope.
Turn on TELRAD and it switches field  back to un-reversed. So then I have to reverse field again.
Fix: Don't let turning on Telrad turn off a reversed view.

Turning on TELRAD un-checks 'Star limit mag' in 'Sky View options' tab.
It also resets the mag to 0.

Some times it also un-checks 'Scale moon'.

Telrad circles are fixed in center of screen.
It's not a bug, but can the circles be set so that we can 'grab' them and move them around the screen instead of having to move the star field over to the circles?

Version 0.21.2

Misconfiguration?

The regular view is as you see in nature.
Telrad is a 1-magnification viewer which does not flip the view. Manually flipping the sky view contradicts what you see in nature.
The automatic setting of flipped view should be configured for reversing telescopes in the Telescope tab of the Oculars plugin. Those flip the view as soon as an ocular view is selected which involves this telescope.

The magnitude issue was in the process of fixing in spring when another developer took over doing repairs in the Oculars plugin. Unfortunately he stopped in summer.

No, the Telrad circles cannot be moved elsewhere, just like the Oculars circle cannot be moved off-center.
