Best I've found hangs off Boyd's home page:

You might check with him about further screen snapshots.

Waaay out of date I think.

Interesting -- I like the popup mini-window for the calibrator, and the
flux history plot below (needs error bars, but oh well).  The telescope
location and elevation seems more interesting as setup parameters rather
than always being available.

It occurs to me that we should tie the minimum flux density rather more
directly to the science -- what one might want depends on the sensitivity
and bandwidth.  I would tend to do this by having an embedded sensitivity
calculator, and using that to set the cutoff flux density.  We will need
such a calculator for the PST at some point anyhow.
