Dear Greg: Although I have had SkyTools 2 for almost 2 years, I feel I'm just starting to get the most out of it. One thing I noticed from the files section...

... I'll add to be sure to use the quick designation entry field (press enter after typing a designation). I've discovered that some people try to browse to...
And I would add/request that, if you intend to publish your list for sharing, if including notes, links or images: 1> ...make sure they will apply or 'make...
I agree: these are all very good suggestions. Greg ... -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software Developer Cloudcroft, New Mexico, USA (33N, 106W, 2700m) SkyTools...
Hi Greg; As you know, I'm a member of IOTA. We received an alert this weekend about upcoming events - as it turns out, so many tonight they're calling it...
Hi, ... Yes, you should obtain the latest set of elements for any sort of work that requires accurate positions. This is because the orbit catalog shipped with...
Great news, Greg, and thanks! So, let me be the first to ask -- what's your target date for ST4??? "It's a joke, son -- a JOKE!!!" ~Foghorn Leghorn <G> Had a...
Hi, ... It's not hard coded. I use a n-body integrator that includes the asteroid and all of the surrounding bodies that influence it gravitationally. As it...
... the web. ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I think that's what I'd prefer to do - download the most current data. I've done this 8 times now (looking at my own...
Hi, I'm sorry if I wasn't clear, but I was just trying to answer your last question... Like I said in my first response ST3 has a simple way to download...
... Not at the moment, no. I do have an add-on nearly finished that will do this. It's actually pretty cool, particularly when it comes to observing...
Someone gave me their HP desktop computer which I'll use for specific purposes as a spare. There's nearly 50 GB of space on the hard drive. I installed ST2...
Greg et al, I love SkyTools2! I have SkyTools2 2.2g installed at present and know about the 2.2h upgrade. I don't know if upgrading to 2.2h would solve the...
Hi Kent, ... That sounds like a problem reading the CD. I'd try cleaning it carefully. Unfortunately, sometimes one machine will read a CD just fine, but a...
... The first thing to do is apply the latest update. The updates generally fix bugs so everyone should always be running the latest. ... In what way did it...
I am busy creating a Lacaille Observers list for the Southern Sky. Most of the Lacaille list are available in the NGC lists. My problem is to create a Lacaille...
Thanks for the tip, Greg. I suspected same, and should have simply cleaned it first or coppied it. I'll let you know what happens. Kent Blackwell ... specific ...
Hi, ... The way to handle this is to create a note for each object that includes the Lacaille identification, perhaps even in the note "headline." ... No....
Hi Kent, ... I will be adding this asteroid to the current minor planets list later today. Clear skies, Greg -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software Developer ...
Thanx for the advice! It makes sense! Will create the list and add Lacaille info in the notes. Hannes Pieterse Bloemfontein South Africa Ns. Do we need clear...
Hi Dave, & greetings from 'Down East' NC, neighbor! Not to overstep Greg, and might be a long shot, but this sounds suspiciously like a problem I've...
