Ephemeris Settings Presets

Ephemeris settings presets let you save a set of basic ephemeris settings (Location, Zodiac, and Reference Plane) under a name and reapply it to any study. You reach them from the presets button beside the Location dropdown on the Basic Ephemeris Settings panel. You can also mark one preset as the default that new studies start from.
