Selectable Types List

Some studies let you choose which categories of events to include through a checkbox list of event types. Unlike the bodies list, this list selects kinds of events rather than celestial bodies. It appears in two forms:

  • Eclipse Types, on the solar and lunar eclipse studies.
  • Moon Phase Types, on the Lunar Phases study.

Checking a type includes it when you generate events; unchecking it leaves it out.
