Hello, I'm having trouble getting AL Double stars to appear in my Nightly Planning list. The only two items that appear are Epislon Boo and Xi Sco. For other ...
Hi Bob, You said you recently installed ST3. Has it been updated to version 3.0d yet? You can see the version on the left side of the SkyTools Preferences...
It had not been updated to 3.0d. I updated it using the buttons shown and the story gets ugly. When I attempt to start SkyTools3, it crashes with this...
Well, actually about 2377 once the "non-existents" are taken care of. Be that as it may, I've uploaded the list to the Yahoogroup files section. I relied on...
Hi Rod, I'd like to put your list up on the web site. What was the source for the data? Was it limited to just William Herschel or are John's objects in...
Hi Greg, Is there a way to make the Interactive Atlas track the sky except by leaving the cursor over the little clock symbol? I`ve tried various combinations...
Hi Mark, The "clock symbol" is a push button. Click it to toggle to/from Real time mode. Click again to switch it back. When in Real Time mode the button...
Greg, what would you think of some future edition of SkyTools with pre-embedded links (Links Tab) to objects' Wikipedia entries? Perhaps via their Search...
Hi, I don't see the need to hardwire links into the program, for a lot of reasons. It would be a nightmare to keep current for one. Anyone can create Web...
Hi Bill, ... Yes, of course. The telescope simulation chart has a dedicated finder view. The field of view of your magnifying finder is drawn as a circle in...
... Hi Greg: This is just the William Herschel objects... This (and all the Herschel lists floating around, really), is based on the original list Fr. Lucaian...
Hi Rod; Since your original query, I've been kinda curious about why you'd want to do this. With all the spurious data, dupes, "not-there's" et al, it would...
Okeydoke....just a thought. I haven't had a chance to try out the 'Groups' thingy yet - will keep that in mind once I do. I was thinking along the lines of a...
IMHO, the assembling of the list is not overly scary. Quite a few good folks have gone on before and have left us with a Herschel List that's quite reasonable...
... You put a page on the web and people link to it. That's just how the web works. Greg -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software Developer Cloudcroft, New...
And that's the beauty of the thing. ;-) ... From: skytools@yahoogroups.com [mailto:skytools@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Greg Crinklaw Sent: Friday, November...
Hi Rod, ... Wow, Rod, that is so cool! Sometimes I like to pretend I'm Sir William and pick a random part of the sky to sweep for "new" discoveries....
*LOL* - that's kewl. Doubly so with that 'Pot 'o Gold' Ms. Dot found for you. Just a casual glance at the list contents, volume-wise, could as much as say...
Oh, they'd done a bit more than link to it. The Wiki entry at one time was an outright copy-n-paste from your page's contents. Trust me, I know.* With no...
Preachin' to the choir, d00d! Sir Bill was a MOFO! I used to date his sister, y'know. (Yes, I'm THAT old!!) ~8> Hey Rod....I've got a Babe Ruth baseball I'll...
You never know... ;-) Peace, Rod Mollise Rod's new book: _Choosing and Using a New CAT_ Available Now! <http://skywatch.brainiac.com/astroland> ... From:...
I can hook to sky commander and do "push to", I am using a servocat adaptor and cable (which works well with The Sky 6), but I can not get it configured right...
The help file ("Star Designation Formats") suggests that to search for a multiple star using its Struve designation, I should enter "Struve" followed by a...
Hi, ... The reference to Struve in the help is an unfortunate left-over from SkyTools 2. It doesn't apply to SkyTools 3. In fact, there are more than just...
... I use the ADS number to bring up the double star I want to plot on skytools. A good book to have is the night sky observers guide. they list all the ADS...
Bob, is this SkyTools 2 or 3? Why I ask is, First, you might know this, but for some background: F.G.W. (or 'Wilhelm') Struve used the designaton 'Sigma' (Ó),...
Oops! Greg replied while I was composing....and tryin' to figure out how to make the UC 'Sigma' symbol appear in here, & now see that din't work either -- so...
... It's not a matter of "corrections." That was just a kludge I added to SkyTools 2 after it was released so that people would be able to look up double...
Hi Ed, I know people use the ServoCat regularly with SkyTools, but I don't know the specifics of how they are configured. Hopefully a ServoCat user out there...
