Maybe someone has addressed this but ST2 indicates Saturn is 16.28 magnitude. Kent Blackwell...
I was (ST3) looking into the visibility window of DSO's and saw something I do not understand. For instance for M1, this evening (at -05:13:10 Longit. and...
Hi Jan, This is the "optimum viewing window" rather than a simple visibility window. Rather than indicate the entire time the object is visible, it indicates...
I see exactly what you are saying about the dark shading. As I progress through the days and the moon becomes brighter, the dark shading is event... thanks, As...
... Don't mean to hijack the thread but how about having ST3 save a setup file (similar to Google Earth .kmz file). The file can save date, time, latitude,...
OK thanks Greg. I understand how it is meant to work now But still things happen I do not understand. I hope you can clear up this as well. Take, for instance,...
Hi Rick, ... Thanks! ... Yes and no. I have used such devices in testing, but it urns out that most of the time a screen capture can tell me what I need to...
Hi Mark, ... That's a very good idea. SkyTools can already save a "Scenario" to be pulled up later by the same user, so it's just a matter of making this ...
Hi Jan, That's definitely odd behavior. My guess is that changing the location isn't properly refreshing all of the list data. I'm looking into it. Thanks, ...
I'd like to thank everyone who has taken the time to report bugs and other issues with SkyTools 3. Fortunately most are minor, but unfortunately some are...
Hi Greg, I've another question for you. Last friday in the afternoon I've prepared my observing list with ST3 PRO on my desktop pc, and I've set the column...
I have two problems with the naked eye chart. I arrive at the naked eye chart by right clicking on a selection mark (in visual observation mode) of one of the...
Hi Jan, That's weird. I cannot replicate this. Do you think it may be because you activated Real Time in the Naked Eye chart? If you did than you probably...
Hi Jan, There is a known issue with regard to starting simulation charts via a right-click in the check mark column. What's happening is that your chart is...
Hi Fabio, Yes, it seems that the observation status and observation priorities are not currently transferred via the Sync (as they should be). We somehow ...
I use this option to make a list for my go-to (not connected to a computer), with the next object closest to the actual object. So I need to see them all on...
Hi Jan, ... Ok, here's what I'd do: go ahead and use this feature in ST3. After the naked eye window opens click to disable the Real Time mode and then set ...
OK, that's also a good option. Thanks, Jan http://members.ziggo.nl/jhm.vangastel/Astronomy/ ... As of 10-01-2008 my email address has been changed to...
Forgive me if this has already been worked out, but I haven't seen a thread on it. In the image here <http://users.frii.com/tkantonsen/pix/EP%20listing.jpg> ,...
For some unknown reason a duplicate EP or scope will sometimes be added to the lists. When I delete one of the duplicates the remaining one has changes in its...
I was having that problem, too. I fixed it (I think) by deleting both copies of the EP, and then re-adding it. The duplicate hasn't shown up for a while, so I...
I can't say that I've pinned it down to a specific cause. It has happened in both the eyepiece and scope lists. It doesn't seem consistent. The last two times...
Hi, Have you guys done any re-ordering of the telescopes/eyepieces? Or did you do a lot of editing/deleting of the eyepieces listed in the eyepiece pool? ...
Hi Tim, I'm still looking into this. My computer failed and things have been crazy. I notice that you seem to have deleted all the eyepieces in the "pool"...
On ST2 Saturn still shows magnitude 16.28 under Object Information. I zoomed in on the planet in a chart mode and Saturn's moons show the correct magnitude for...
Hi Kent, I'm sorry -- I thought this had been answered by someone else. There is a known issue with regard to the calculated magnitude of Saturn that only...
Thanks, Greg. No rush. I've introduce many of our local astronomy club members to SkyTools so I just want to be informed if they ask. Kent ... There is ... ...
Greg, the only eyepieces I had deleted were the duplicates that mysteriously appeared. Same for the scopes. The last time a duplicate scope appeared I was...
