Hi Adam,

A couple of more points on the calculator that may be easy to implement:

When one uses telescopes very far apart, there is little mutual
uv-coverage. When there is no common time the baselines are flagged in
the list as N/A and no sensitivity is reported. However, the uv-plot it
is still scaled to maximum possible baseline.
Here is a couple of suggestions to improve things:
1. Rescale the uv-plot to use ONLY the baselines that exist, not the N/A
2. Change the listing to also report "Coverage (hrs)" for each
baseline. Then you can list the sensitivities for all baselines (it is
useful to know sometimes even if no mutual coverage) and make the
coverage 0 hrs (or N/A or an *, or red colour). This will give all the
information that there is now and a little more.

I think you already calculate the coverage times, so it should easy to
implement. I'll not do it if it requires major effort.

Cheers
Tasso
