Ephemeris Presets

Ephemeris presets save common study-level configuration settings for quick reuse. Instead of manually configuring the same location, zodiac system, and reference plane for every new study, you can apply a preset with a single click.

What Presets Capture​

An ephemeris preset stores the following settings:

  • Location
  • Zodiac System (Tropical or Sidereal)
  • Coordinate Origin (Geocentric, Topocentric, or Heliocentric)
  • Reference Plane (Ecliptic or Equatorial)

Accessing Ephemeris Presets​

Click the Presets Menu Button (the small icon next to the Location dropdown) to open the presets flyout menu.
