Dennis I appreciate you taking the time to inform us on other groups that there is a good comet available. Unfortunately we "went after" this one and couldn't...

Low power may be the rule for comets but something I saw had it rated at Mag 11. That's trivial in the c14 and in the 17.5" dob but at 15 degrees above the...
Greg, I was able to image it a couple of weeks ago with my 120mm refractor. The only way I could tell it was the comet was by two photos taken far enough apart...

Here is the start of the two records - Chris I can never figure out which catalogue SMP is using as the primary, it is probably obvious but is record one using...
OK, that explains it. The first record is from the Tycho 2 catalog - the second from the General Catalog of Variable Stars. The position data from Tycho will ...
Chris, Thanks! That is what I needed to know. On another note, I mostly lurk on this group (since version 6 I think), but Chris I want to let you know that...
Hello fellow Skymap Pro user. I'm not new to the program; in fact I don't even remember what version I started with. I know I still have a version 5 manual....

Chris, Coincidentally I was using SMP11 (11.0.6) to look for vdB 141 a few weeks ago. I could not find it. I tried again after your post (below) and SMP...
