I tried lower case as it seems to appear inside of ST2. When that did not work, I changed entry to uppercase; that worked! Rick...
Hi Greg. Do I use the Upgrade Order Page (http://skyhound.com/upgrade_preorder_online.html)to request an "At Cost" upgrade, or is there a different process for...
Hi Neil, I'm sorry, I should have mentioned the at cost upgrades. Things have been really crazy lately. It seems I'm one step behind on everything. Those who...
Hi, I am an "at cost" user. My problem is that I already ordered online today at the full "Pro" price (89.95) before I knew about the "at cost" availability. ...
Hi Greg, I don't understand it anymore. Could you please explain. What is an 'at cost' order (I am from The Netherlands and I don't know what it means). I am a...
This is what Greg said about "at cost" in a recent previous posting: Those who purchased SkyTools 2 after June 1, 2008 qualify for an at cost upgrade, which...
A couple of notes regarding upgrades: I did discover that there was an inadvertent case sensitivity to the SkyTools 2 serial numbers. That has been fixed. I...
Your support is great Greg! I never had to wait more then a day or so before receiving an answer, on-list or off-list that answered my question or solved my...
Hey , No problem Greg, ..... Anxiously waiting ...... Mike H From: skytools@yahoogroups.com [mailto:skytools@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Greg Crinklaw Sent:...
Hi Jan, The extended star catalog in the Pro version is not a substitute for DSS photos. If you use the DSS download function now, you will continue to use it...
Jan, I'm in the same boat you are! I don't do astrophotography, but I've always been a proponent of more information is better (since I usually end up...

Hi Jim, ... That's basically true, but there is a bit more to it that that. The "starfields" that can be downloaded have no data associated with them; they...
Hi Greg, I was aware that the downloaded supplemental star fields aren't integrated, but the other info is new to me and most interesting. My comment to Jan...
Greg, In ST2 the GSC was used as stellar database, in ST3-standard, the GSC is not used any more. I know the GSC had the problem you mention below (missing ...
Hi Jan, ... We basically had a database that went to 20th mag. I experimented with creating a database that was complete to a certain magnitude, say 15th. by...
Hi Greg; I'll beg pardon in advance knowing this has been answered before, but what was the dimmest star magnitude for ST2's database? I'm on some very very...
That's what I would like as well. I am not interested in photography at all and it now looks as if I have the choice between: 1. The pro version, only for a...
... Or not, because you both seem to have misunderstood. I apologize for not being more clear. The stellar database in the standard edition is more or less...
Hi, ... The answer depends on which database you are asking about. There are really two. The reference database has stars with all sorts of additional...
... I'd like to make it very clear that I did not actually do what I said above--doing so would have been unacceptable. What I did do was to use the same GSC...
OK Greg, thanks for making this clear. I did not understand this from your former answer (if I had, I wouldn't have used the word 'crippled'). Anyway, I...
What's going on with Astronomy December magazine Comet search? It talks about 85P/Boethin in Aquarius and Pisces this month but when i key it in Skytools I get...
The orbital elements from the Harvard Ephemeris puts 85P/Boethin in Aquarius and Pisces this month.. What's going on with Skytools 85P/Boethin ephemeris? dean...
Hi Dean, This is an excellent example of why you can't count on magazines for comet information. Magazines go to press months before hand and comets are way...
