Hi Dan, you're close. Basically, my problem is that even if I know the degrees in CDC, when I go outside, I find that the object is much farther above the...
there are digital levels available. i see them here in the u.s.a at hardware and building supply stores. you might even find a protractor of some sort, where...
... In ancient times they called in an astrolabe. A more advanced version used by navigators to sail by the stars was called a sextant. You can make a simple...
Hi sky friends, we are beginners and want to use ciel. The communication to teleskope works well. But why does ciel only send RA and DEC and NOT also ALT and...
Ra and Dec are better for pointing to celestial objects because they don't change as the Earth rotates. Look for ASCOM for a way to communicate with Ceil. ...
Hi Chris, next question from beginner: Is it true, that NOT CdC - or any other PC-Astro-Program - will always calculate Altitude and Azimut but this is task of...
Hi Ulrich, Is your system a scope with the motors controlled in AltAz by their own controllers, then connected to a PC? You are expecting the PC to sort out...
Since the relation between alt-az and RA-dec coordinates is time-dependent, if CdC were to send alt-az coordinates for pointing, it would have to know how fast...
Hi John and Chris, I think I'v got it now. Our mount is parallactic. So CdC sends RA and Dec to mount controller, which then will calculate AltAz regarding...

Patrick, Thank you for continuing work on the Mac version of Sky Chart. I just got V3.0.1.5. It is looking good. I just wanted you to know that we Mac users...

Hi John, Thank you very much for your help. We were not only a bit but so much confused. But now it's all clear and we can continue with our project without...
How accurate are the calculations of planet and star positions as a function of time. In other words, as an example, on setting the time in CDC at 10BC, how...
Its a lot of error in the position for variable star in your software ,GCVS and NSV, because of to old catalogues. New and better catalog is for downloading...
Yes , but iam to stupid to understand CATGEN, have tryed but i dont get it, Its sad that in near all astronomy software is it to old variable cataloges, and we...

Maybe Oleg Maly (hope I got that right) has updated versions of these catalogs. In any case, if you're interested in updated catalogs for CdC it's worthwhile...

Thanks for that Oleg!! I was just about to say, I have some free time (???!!!) this week, and was prepared to give it a go ( part of the learning experience) ...
Oleg, thanks i see that a lot of software have this old catalog : GUIDE TheSky Megastar C2A HNSKY VAROBS DEEPSKY Its sad that this importent cats not update...
That's one of the reasons I love CdC!!!!!! I "invested" a lot of $$$$ in TheSkyV6, and find it would handle the USNO data without a significant $$$ upgrade! ...
Indeed. I refuse to spend money for planetarium software that doesn't allow me to add my own catalogs with an open format. I have a copy of TheSky X which is...

But it is one problem left, if i remove the old GCVS from CdC, i get no label for Olegs new NSV Cat, if i keep the old file its double pos for some of the NSV...
