Good evening, I would be most appreciative if someone could walk me through this process. I am running a Losmandy GM8 with Gemini. I downloaded the Ascom...
Hello all, I have a Meade DOB with a Magellan I hand box. I know its old, but it works and ASCOM doesn't support it. The other Meade drivers do not work, nor...
Sorry to bring up an old thread... I want to make sure that I can do what I think that this thread is saying... The use model that I would like to employ is...
Thanks John! I should also have mentioned that, while the subject of the original author's thread dealt with a Paramount ME mount, I actually use an AP1200GTO....
Hi Bob, I'm hoping someone with direct experience with this equipment configuration will speak up and help you out. I don't have any personal experience with...
Hi Oren, ... SkyTools 2 doesn't directly support any DSCs except the Sky Commander and is not set up to work well with DSCs via ASCOM. We have added support...
Hi Rick, ... Events are computed for a specific location so they are reported in the local time for that location. In general, all times in SkyTools are ...
Hi, Greg, After several hours trying possibilities, I did finally get things to work. For the record, I am certain that my difficulties had nothing to do with...
Say, is there a way to find out these start/stop times for a particular day--past, present, or future..? I couldn't figure out how to do it. thanks Rick...
Hi Rick, SkyTools only computes the beginning and end of Astronomical twilight as the others are of little interest to most observers. On the planner the ...
Dear Greg/all contributors, I seem to learn something new about ST/2 nearly every day. A recent "learn" was about the "field of view" circles that can be...
Hi Joe, ... Since SkyTools is designed with specialized star hopping charts the intent is to make the use of FOV circles obsolete for all but a few special...
Hi Greg, all.... Today I restumbled (is that a word?) on something I encountered a couple months ago, & rekindled that interest. I get sooooo frustrated with...
Hi, I'm nor sure about the IC designation for IC 2497 galaxy. It's suspect that it doesn't appear in most databases. NED does, however, list IC 2497 and it...
Thanks for the info. I really look forward to using ST connected to my DOB. I use ST with my LX90 via wireless bluetooth and can't seem to live without it...
Hi Greg; I've had a repeat of a previous problem...and can't for the life of me remember what you told me that fixed it before. Have spent a half hour...
Hi, If it says "0 out of..." that implies they are being filtered out. Be sure to check all the filter settings. They should be set to: "All classes", "All"...
Hi Rick, ... Yes, that and the fact that I put considerable effort into making things fast as efficient, particularly when it comes to the databases. I'm ...
DewD!!!!!! You are nothing short of amazing, you know that? The filters. For SOME unknown reason, the constellation filter was set on 'And' (Andromeda) - &...
In my observinglist for Coma Berenices, I found the name 'flaming star'. The Sky simulation chart shows, at the coordinates for that object, the mice (mag....
