I should know this but, is there an easy way in Deepsky to find the time that object X will be at altitude Y? For example, what time will NGC7023 be at 40...
Steve: I have set up a "permanent" wedge at a friend's farm out in the country. This was back in 1983 before GPS. I found the latitude from a USGS topo quad...
Hi Steve, I found one in the Session Start and End notes the date is fine but the time is wrong in both start and the end when you print out the single logbook...
A couple of small things. These are not biggies. You program works well and is mature. Both of these nitpicks have to do with the splash welcome screen. The...
The thing about polar alignment on a wedge? Use some sort of an aid, whether it's a Polar Alginment finder (I believe Meade finders still have the Polar ...

Hi Steve I have found none on mine. But the Annotation window, would it be possable that the textbox be bigger and when you resize it small you don't loose...
LOL I figged it out, just needed some clear skies to play with it. I can see M13 naked eye in the country where I was. I so hate GOTO now I need a bigger Dob...
HI Lynn: With the South Pole Star Sigma Octanis, so close to the horizon, the best you can to is roughly align on it--assuming you can see it in the horizon ...

No, not easily. I would definitely recommend keeping a backup of the Logbook2005-8.mdb or coming in the next service pack Logbook2007-7.mdb. You can set...
I am looking to enhance the logbook in the area of CCD imaging. Right now Deepsky has a tab for CCD information and I was wondering if it is missing any...
David, Can you email me a screenshot offline showing the screen you are talking about. On my system, I am not able to resize the annotation window. Are you...
I am adding a preference on the Spreadsheet options tab that will make Deepsky start up without loading the last spreadsheet. Most people will probably want...
Got most of that done. I will have to work on the thumbnail thing. I agree, that would be nice to have. Thanks Steve ... Steven S. Tuma Deepsky Astronomy...
Hi Steve, small feature request for your patch. When using the logbook I'd like to have a 'now' button that fills in the current local time in the time field....
When you tab through that field without entering anything, if the value is blank, then it will put in the current time automatically. Try that and see if it...
In what version is that? I have 2007.01.03. I can't even tab out of the 'Date Obs' field, let alone tab into 'Time Obs'. When I put my cursor in Time Obs and...
I think I understand it. Normally you have an observation on the screen displayed and you want a now button next to the time because when an observation is on...
What were you saying about the the UT radio button being changed when the time changed? I don't see that happening here. ... Steven S. Tuma Deepsky Astronomy...
It's the other way around. When the time gets filled in automatically the UT radio button stays selected even though the local time got filled in. The local...
The way it was designed was based on the time you enter, it will be either local or UT depending on which radio button you have selected. Maybe I need to...
