Hi Rick, I apologize for missing the word "nightly." You have a good point here and I've put some sort of alternate form of presentation in my list for future...
Just as there is an extincted magnitude ability (built in) and also an obstructed horizon ability (user defined), will there be an ability for me to define a...
Hi Rick, You will be happy to hear that ST3 has a much more sophisticated sky brightness model. Thanks, Greg ... -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software...
Greg, I'm wondering if there has been a delimited file export capability planned for / built into ST3. Also in thinking about this some more over the last few...
Hi Doug, ... Yes, ST3 will be able to write log data in a delimited format. How much additional information to include hasn't been decided yet. Including ...
Thanks for the quick response, Greg. I gather most of my search needs would fall into the area that is covered by the log search functionality, but with more...
Hi Greg, Back in March I sent you the files from my SMPv10 observation logs for you to convert to ST2 observations so I could have my log in ST contain all of...
... ^^^^^^^^ Well, no. But an airline ticket would be much MUCH cheaper. And leave you enough to pay for ST3. Full Pro, PLUS version. With Add-Ons. And two...
Hello, This email message is a notification to let you know that a file has been uploaded to the Files area of the skytools group. File : /SkyTools 2...

When listing some stars on the Real Time screen, I notice that the Hour Angle data have the correct signs, but have values only about one-quarter of those...
A bit more data: For the same LST as in my previous post, Sky6 gives: * Rasalhague HA = +0h07m, * Vega HA = -0h54m, and * Sadr HA = -2h39m, which I don't...
Hi Eric, We recently found a bug in the HA display. It will be fixed in the next update. Thanks, Greg ... -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software Developer ...
Got it, thanks a million. Just got my first equatorial mount and found I needed to activate the HA column for planning, and was tripping myself up on mount...
Suppose I have a mount with encoders and a JMI B-Box serial interface, which only provides encoder counts. What else do I need to communicate to the Skytools 2...
Hi Folks, Is there anyone out there that's created a list of Luna objects? I was just looking at doing the Luna 1 and 2 observing certificate from the AAL. I...
Hello, Greg. It's been awhile. I'm having two problems with the log brower that maybe you can offer help. Problem: LOG BROWSER 1. Nothing shows up on the...

Hi Kent, Back up your logs using the Backup tab of the Data Manager. Then restore the same logs using the Restore tab. That should rebuild all the index...
No, that didn't work. I think we wrestled with perhaps what might be the culprit for this a year or so ago. Backing up is no problme but upon restoring a...
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the skytools group: I'm trying to judge the interest in adding support for reading the (now obsolete)...

Hi Kent, That should have worked. The only thing I can think of that would cause this sort of problem would be for one of the files to have become on your...
I cannot for the life of me find my original cd. I still have the program installed on my old laptop and backed up on a cd. I suppose I can do without the...
Hi Greg; I know you have a MUCH better working knowledge of the various astro- data sources, so let me ask you. I can't count the number of times I've found...
Hi, Your basic assumption is in error. I do not recognize SIMBAD as the authority for object designations, and few amateur astronomers would agree with me if...
