Hi Han, here they comes the answers to your question 1) Telescope simulation works nice, even though, upon screen update a yellow cross remains on the old...
Hello Han, I searched for these two stars Alcor and Mizar (that supposed to be in the Ursa Major constellation inbetween Alioth and Alkaid ) and could not find...
Hello Hari, I did find them in a supplement named "hns_star.sup", Common-named stars supplement file for HNSKY. Compiled by Bill Anderson. Alcor 4.0 13:25...
Hello Matteo, That the simulation works fine is a good thing. At this moment, I have no real idea what causes the problem. Maybe the ASCOM driver maybe HNSKY....
Hello Florian, I have "giving up" introducing hot keys using single letters. You can use them with the effect mentioned. However I would recommend to use...
To Peter, In the latest HNSKY version 2.2.1ß, the problem with constellation lines for wide field should be solved. I found an elegant solution which should...
So far seems to work fine. I like that the position of the Object window remembers its location. The wheel mouse zoom is great! And i can do N/S/E/W for...
Han, the zipfile you suggested says "methos slewtotargetasync is not implemented in this telescope driver object" (maybe this is the problem) cartes du ciel...
Hello Matteo, ... That's interesting. First I discovered that the "ASCOM error message" reporting in HNSKY was not working. That is why this error was not...
Hello Matteo, In addition to previous message, I think now the problem is caused by the problem that the Nexstar can't communicate during slewing. For this...
Hello Han. I use the HNSKY 2.20J with my telescope LX200GPS, when I begin the observation no problem, but when I need move to other constellation, the screen...
Hello Carlos, As soon you switch on the ASCOM interface, the two, LX200 and HNSKY are positional locked to each other. So if you move the LX200 telescope, ...
I just joined this group. Here is a letter I sent today to Nexsatr group. Any help? I got my RS232 yesterday, downloaded several computer controlled softwares,...
Thanks Chris, whoever you are. Actually, I called Celestron and they said the typical ASCOM driver shown as Nexstar 5 or 8, is wrong. So I changed the driver...
I could not find any explanation on how to enter the proper coordinates of your geographicAL LOCATION. Please explain how you would enter: North 41-25.58 Is it...
Hi Paul, I do not know if there is a beginner's guide to HNSKY, but I think the help that coems with the product is self explanatory and good enough for a warm...
Hi all, I was just preparing for watching tomorrow's lunar eclipse (May 15-16), as it will be specially visible from South America (where I am), and decided to...
Last night was my first time using this software. For some reason, each time I choose to skew to a star or planet, using the software to point, I was always a...
Was is happening with this group? Apparently no one reads the messages any more? I would not recommend this software for anyone starting out. There is no...
... I read the messages. I read all of them. But i don't use a computer driven scope so didn't have anything to contribute to your question. Perhaps the author...
Thanks Florian I guess I can assume everyone else has got all their bugs and answers worked out, so no one reads this group anymore. And yes, I sent the author...
I didn't know HNSKY was that "eclipse-ready"! ... Hello Fernando, HNSKY is many things and above all is a very accurate programme. We went to a graze (in our...
I have this software but no one responds to my questions? Maybe you can help if I ask directly? The alignment of the stars shown in the software is off from my...
Hi Paul, The coordinates in HNSKY are all in decimal Degrees - 48.5 means 48 degrees and 30 minutes. So if you want to input 48 degrees 30 minutes, it's not...
When I align the scope on a star or planet, the "x" which shows the scope position in the HNSKY software, is not directly on the star or planet. It is close,...
Yes, I know. I already entered my coordinates that way, but I still have a problem. ... Hi Paul, The coordinates in HNSKY are all in decimal Degrees - 48.5...
Hello Paul, Just some remarks about location and time zone. I'm not sure if this solves your telescope pointing problem. The time zone -5 should be okay for...
