Object name on full screen view

[Reddog176]

I've been using Backyard EOS to do EAA for public consumption/streaming purposes at our local astronomy club. While I know this isn't the best target software for this, it has worked out very very well, with one small thing that would make it better. 

After centering an object, and getting the exposure/etc correct, I flip to a full screen view. I wish it would show the entered target name somewhere on the full screen view, so folks have an idea what their looking at.

The font size is pretty small, but BYE does show the name of the currently displayed image file above the top of the image.

You can do this with a number of Image Viewers or Image Editors (everything from Microsoft Paint to Adobe Photoshop).

My favorite for a POWERFUL but EASY and FREE program that really blurs the line between Image Viewer and Image Editor is IRFANVIEW (https://www.irfanview.com/)

You simply OPEN the Image File (or setup to Watch a "Hot Folder" to display Most Recent Image), then Drag a Rectangle where you want your Text, and use the Insert Text dialog.

This will allow you to continue with BYE/BYN Image Capture in the Background whilst engaging with the Public in the Foreground.

Would this be from live view images (frame&focus) or still images from the image capture mode?

You could use a text file editor like Notepad++ to display a manually-typed title. Notepad++ also lets you zoom to increase the size of the text.  The window could be positioned to display over the top portion of the BYE Presentation mode window.
