Saturn has disappeared. Not from the sky (I saw it last night), but from my list of solar system objects. I am still on version 2 (2.2h), have the right...
Maybe it changed to magnitude 16 and is not visible. Do an object search for it and look at its info to see what magnitude it is. There was some kind of bug...
Nope. It is actually (as in, in the sky) very bright still (rings now just showing as a line through Saturn). My filter is on mag 15 and it still doesn't...
Hi Cliff, There is an issue with regard to the calculated magnitude of Saturn that only occurs under a specific set of circumstances--circumstances that we...
OK, thanks. I had done a search but I probably over-specified it and put things like "Saturn disappeared" and some other words and didn't get any hits on all...
Hi Kent and Joe, I have finished looking through Kent's logs to find out what's causing the Sync issue. Wow. Kent has a monster logbook with something like ...
Greg, I have the ST3 Professional edition. I'm trying to use the designation search to find Struve double stars. Your documentation says to use STRUVE for...
Hi David, From the ST3 license agreement: It is illegal to a give away or sell this software to another person while retaining it for your own use. This...
Wow, thanks Greg. I owe you for your time spent reviewing my logs. Yes, I do have extensive logs but I've been using SkyTools for nine years and can't remember...
I found a situation where I can make the problem occur. In visual mode, viewing an observing list, I click Observing List/View as Thumbnails. The Thumbnail...
I noticed in the archives that others have asked for a csv import utility. I have at least several hundred log entries that I entered into SkyMap pro. I can...
Hi Michael, ... For the moment it is only used to make appropriate default selections for the simulation chart created for the telescope, such as the ...
Hi Bernie, ... Does it really? That must be a left over from SkyTools 2. There really isn't any such thing as a "Struve" identifier. For one thing, there ...
Hi Rob, ... I am currently working on a program to import logs. I had hoped to have it ready by the first of this month, but it has slipped to the beginning ...
Thanks Greg, Here's where I saw the Struve mentioned. When you open the Designation Search tool there is an About Designations button. I pressed that, then ...
Thanks! Since it is in the pipe I can avoid a mass data entry. Having been in software myself I respect your wanting to get the program right before releasing...
Hi Greg; Got a special favor to ask. I know you did a HUGE amount of work on refining the available Stellar database(s) for ST3, and kudos for that. Something...
Hi, ... Here is the gist of it. First some background. The WDS arranges stars into individual pairs. SkyTools collects the pairs into systems. A star system...
Hi All I am a bit confused on using the new sync function and would like some clarification. I first created a sync database from my PC and then used that DB...
Hello Phil, Of course Greg can confirm or deny this, but to the best of my knowledge and experience yes, you must create a new sync database from the origin PC...
... Confirm. ;-) The Sync database is a sort of export of all of the data on one computer, meant to be transferred to a second computer where the data can be...
Hi Rob, ... Unfortunately no. It was on my list of features to add to ST3 but it somehow got passed over. Eventually... You should see my site list. I've...
My Saturn is Mag 16.3 I was doing an overhead sky chart for Saturn for the upcoming Virginia Astro-Imaging Conference and there was no Saturn. On the...
