Has anyone made a collection of start charts and printed them to PDF files? I am looking for a atlas with a limiting magnitude of 9 to 10. Uranometria is a...
There are 355 (Sargent et al. 1974) or 509 (Crampton et al. 1985) globulars, 403 open clusters, 188 stellar associations and 730 dust clouds in M31. I wonder...

There only Mag. 7 and I already the SkyAtlas 2000.0 that goes to 8.5. Just got a "bigger" scope and need to go alittle higher. The uranomertia goes to 9.7 I...
I was just outside (9:26pm cst) and found G1 (Mayall II) with my dob. It was quite faint. I used a Celestron 20mm with a Celestron 2X barlow. I followed the...
Ah. But I think the article describes a bit about how the charts were generated with free tools. If you want to save some money you -could- try to do it...
I agree with Sander that the best way is to just print up what you need. An added advantage of this is that you can also alter your scale if looking for "Faint...
There are also nebulas in some galaxies big enough to be seen. M33 and M101 especially. Several of these "HII regions" have their own NGC number. NGC 604 in...
Just to remember that any catalog on the form of a text file up to a few thousand records can be added to the program using the External Catalog setting. A...

Is it best to use the .exe version of the .zip versions found on the version 3 page? If you use the .exe version does it automatically get selected in the...
mlfinch, I'm not sure what the answer is but for now I'm sticking with 2.76. It's a lot faster and various preferences are easier to edit because they are ...
I figured out the object information part. The problem was me not remembering to click on the object name. Wala. You don't really need the right click menu...
I figured this out too by looking at version 2.76. In that version it defaults to the corect folder so I was able to tell where to point version 3.0.0.9. ... ...
I've discovered a bug in version 3.0.0.8. Patrick may already be aware of this. When setting the Observatory Location all works great until you add or update...
right, that is a problem with 3.0. It does seem to recognize incorrect paths though so while it's tedious it's possible to find the right path by elimination. ...
