... after ... Hi Paul, I am presume that you do not have a GPS version of the scope. Two things have occurred to me that are particular to goto scopes and ...
I am curious how "in sync" other users of HNSKY are having. For example, when you see the selected star in your scope's eyepiece, and then zoom into this...
... and ..... I thought of one more question last night. How well does your scope goto without using HNSKY? Using just the HC (no pc connection at all) does...
With a 32 mm Plossl my alignments usually are within the range of this eyepiece. Apparently there are no settings in HNSKY that allow a sync to scope. Do other...
Hello Chi, No there isn't. There is now a lot of distance data available, but the usefulness for amateurs is close to none. So it is not implemented in...
Dave, My impression is that selecting two stars with the same DEC or the same RA give poor results. The stars should be far from each other. 90 degrees or so. ...
Hello Joseph and Paul, I have no problem implemening the "sync" command since it is very simple. Before doing so, is it not easier using your telescope control...
Han, For my situation, a "Sync" command in HnSky would be ideal because most of the time I use my telescope from a remote location 200ft, (~65 meters) away. It...
The latest ß version has a preliminary telescope "sync" command. Just briefly tested. I do not know if the Celestron accepts it. If not, an error message will...
I had asked the Nexstar Yahoo group my question of why the "x" mark in computer software (HNSKY) does not always match what is seen the eyepiece: Paul Adler ...
Hello Paul, That's an interesting writing. Sofar I understand it, my conclusion is: 1) In the az-alt mode the Celestron RA/DEC indication is not error free for...
Dear Nexstar Group: For all those who don't know, Hans Kleijn is the writer of the program HNSKY, one of the most advanced free software planetarium programs ...
Hi, Just for clarification. Only the standard "sync" command is implemented, nothing more, So if not accepted by the Celestron telescope, it simply will not...
Han Actually had a clear night to test the software last night!!! Looks good, the only issue I see is that the accuracy of the coordinates for the sync are...
Hello Joe, Fine it works as desired. I checked it only with the scope simulator. One method for centering an object could be a "search" for it. Other...
Hi, I will ban the author. If it happens again, I will introduce approval. Han ... someone ... there's a ... only fucks ... need to ... fucks ... fine ... ...
Hi,
Actually I am receiving now thorough e-mail all these ... things and they
have all the time other e-mail address sender (blocking is therefore
useless) so...
Hi Han, I was wondering how difficult it would be to add a type of logging feature to HNSKY? What I was thinking is something simple like changing the symbol...
Any advice on how any of you plan a night under the stars? I've found in my short experience I see more if I have a realistic list of things I want to track...
I tend to pick an area of the sky or maybe a constellation. HNSky is very helpful here since i can easily enter the time and date i'll be observing and have it...
We are having a messier contest for instance under the Astroclub if you want
me I can mail you the list.
I do not know how advanced you are as well so I can...
Hallo Dave, That could be an interesting addition. Currently, I have a personal need for it, since I try to complete my CCD images of the Messier objects. I do...
... something. Not too terribly advanced. I just got interested this year, only had my scope since March. I guess a list of visually interesting and fairly...
Hi Chris, I would recommend the Messier list, they fit right in with the "visually interesting and easy to find" pretty well. One additionaly benefit is that...
I was also going to recommend a couple of books. The first is "Turn Left at Orion" by Guy Consolmagno which is geared toward smaller scopes and the second is...
HNSKY v2.2.1ß8, Introduced an experimental logbook function. Use "HOME" key to add an entry in the second supplement using the mouse RA/DEC position. ...
Chris, My favorite guide is The Observer's Sky Atlas: With 50 Star Charts Covering the Entire Sky by Erich Karkoschka. This book is small but potent. It has...
