... Hi Greg, Could you give us a month to look forward to, as here in Australia it's the middle of winter and summer is 6 months away... :-( Rdgs. Michael...
Not Greg....and not speaking for him, but I'm sure he's talking about 'his' summer....and I'd expect that's August or September. And speaking of which....Greg,...
Hi, ... Everything's a major hurdle it seems, which is why its so behind schedule. The standard edition version is finished/tested except for a few loose...
Hi All This especially meant for Greg, but will maybe also help folks thinking about the SkyCommander DSC's. I think the Skytools implementation for the...
Hi Greg; Re: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap080716.html I've been adding in these objects (the 'Dwarf Planets') as asteroids using the DBEditor. While...
Hi All Before I order one, I just wanted to check with the group or Greg to be sure that Skytools will work with a Bluetooth Aircable. For those who don't know...
Hi, ... It doesn't really impact SkyTools much. The Plutoid description is more or less arbitrary so all I can do is add a "Plutoid" label to those asteroid...
Hi Phil, ... There is nothing about SkyTools that would keep it from working. As long as it looks like a serial port it won't care. Clear skies, Greg -- Greg...
Thanks Greg and pulley@... for the information. I'm going to give it a try! Phil Lanz Tenafly, NJ Hardin DSH-10 Dobsonian Orion Express 80 Refractor ... ...
... Sometimes a picture is worth more than words: http://skyhound.com/dl/plutoids.jpg Clear skies, Greg -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software Developer ...
Phil, I have been using AirCables with my Argo Navis/ ServoCAT 17.5" and SkyTools for about 2 years. It is sweet being able to control the scope from 30' away...
Kewl -- works for me! ST4 eh? Maybe I'll just hold off & get that one. Could you give us a release date for that? *ducks - runs for the woods* ~;) Clear'ns! ...
Thanks Jack, that's great to know. The other night I tripped over it so bad that I nearly pulled my laptop off the table and the SkyCommander pulled off it's...
Hi all, Don't own the software yet, but I have been reading a lot about it, and may purchase in the near future.. Schererville IN near Chicago near Chicago Il...
Rick, Tell folks how you are thinking about using Sky Tools 2 and I am sure that you will get feedback as to whether/how it will fit your needs! :-) James...
No "go to" scope here, just an old Celestron SPC-102F refractor. I am reasonably familiar with the constellations so I don't need an all sky planetarium...
Rick, I used to use a cheaper piece of software that purported to do everything. The difference is, SkyTools actually does appear to! You can enter your...
Is anyone using the pocket sky on their PDA synced to Sky Commander? I have a UT Starcom PDA phone that has miniusb. I can build the cable interface, but need...
Hi Rick; And welcome to the fold. One thing Greg routinely emphasizes is that SkyTools is NOT a planetarium program per se (tho it does about a good a job at...
That li'l lightblub (yes, 'blub') just came on! *LOL* Between a *D'oh* & headslap, I just remembered....a relative has upgraded (she's now one of those who...
I have an "old" 3580 iPAQ There is not a version of Skytool for PDA's at this time.... I have used Bisque's The Sky - they have a PDA version, and I believe...
NOT a planetarium program?.. I think I do understand. No gosh-wow views of sky expanses, but rather, a textual database for sorting, refining, selecting,...
Not that I'm trying to confuse you, but SkyTools is not really text-based (as is the case with some competing products). It produces excellent charts and has a...
