Integrated in the viewer (the same way as the histogram split view) is better for my usage pattern than a floating widget that can hide other stuff or become hidden.

I am not sure how that would work. Once the FITS file is acquired, it is too late to change the .esq Sequence file that controls the raw data acquisition in the scheduler.

Can you explain how you see that integration in the FITS viewer to feed back on the saved .esq file?

It's only for live view during framing and focusing. Once the sequence is running, you go to bed
Not everyone is running sequences. I think a manual work flow is common for beginners and quick OSC imaging sessions.

We already have the mount control widget for slewing and gotos, and a similar panel for capture, focusing and solver would be nice - especially if they were integrated in a tabbed manner in the FITS viewer. With smaller screens, it is easier to have everything available in a maximized viewer window, than having to rescale and move multiple windows to get everything into place .
