Just keep 'em coming. Greg ... -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software Developer Cloudcroft, New Mexico skyhound.com...
I'm now considering the Asus 1000HE for this application. Do you use the car adapter accessory so you can run off of 12V? With 7.5hrs realistic time this seems...
This is just a kneejerk, shot-in-the-dark thought but....is there any chance your base altitude parameter's way off? Like, a feet-vs-meters thing? And, does...
Well, I stand corrected, & apologies to Kent. And Greg, gotta say I'm very surprised. VERY! Couldn't nail it down with our carpy Search function, but it did...
... ^^^^^^^^ I like that too. Maybe a text-color change (user assignable) or something....but OMG please don't make anything blink!!! *LOL* I could even...
The first thought that comes to mind is "red filter". As in the red acrylic or rubylith lots of us put onto our computer screens while observing. You know, the...
Hi Jeff, The log status is also meant as a means of quickly finding a log entry, so disabling it would not be a good idea. Rather than use the log icon for...
No, They are set accurately as are the latitude and longitude. The altitude should not affect pointing only seeing conditions and horizon. As I said the Argo...

Hi Dennis et al, I hadn't really been following the Netbooks thread, so I didn't realize you guys had drifted to another topic. Just a reminder: if you run...
This topic has cropped up before below. I am trying to sync my preferences from ST2 to ST3. All other prefs are imported correctly as far as I can tell. During...
I have been using ST3 standard edition on Windows Vista for about 6 months now, and I noticed a few annoying issues: - When I create a new log entry, there is...
I have my location set to the longitude & latitude in negative figures for the southern hemisphere (-153 08 00 long & -29 23 22 lat) & time zone set to +10 GMT...
Unless my map's wacko, your longitude is eastern, & shouldn't be a negative. Almost tempted to ask - what's the big building across the road from you? *LOL*...
That still puts my local time at 10.06 pm instead of 5.06 pm. Slightly altered Night Bar though! Unless the GMT time is + 5 which would put me in India or...
Both negative is correct. Check this by selecting 'New' from the observing sites dialog and selecting a nearby city from the Australia list. Have you checked...

Hi Stephen, I`ve tried that & verified Brisbane`s co-ordinates then changed both back to negative. I`ve re-set the computer`s clock to AUS Eastern Standard...
Sorry 'bout that, mate. I thought west (of the US) flips to east (or, positive longitude) at the Int'l Date Line; ie, 180* fm GMT. My mapping app (and now,...
Hi Dennis, I dug into the SkyTools Argo Navis code and the Argo Navis manual and the answer is fairly straight forward: as far as I can tell the Argo Navis...
Well I found the "local time dialog". It`s on the Interactive Atlas page where you click on the blue time registration. Trouble is now, I can`t get this time...
Hi, The chart preferences in SkyTools 3 differ considerably from those in ST2 because there have been many changes. So there are natural limits to how much of...
Hi Julien, Thanks for the report. SkyTools doesn't process the DSS images in any way, so I'm curious about what's going on with your stretched images. It may...
Hi Mark, What is your operating system? There is a known bug in older versions of Windows with regard to time zones that requires a work around. First be sure...
I will look into it and get back to you with my findings. No, I did not use any of the keyboard shortcuts. I will also confer with Gary Kropf of Argo...
Hi Greg, I`m still using Windows XP Home with Virtual PC for Mac Version 7 at present. I`ve bought the new Lenovo pc but I`m told it needs restore discs by my...
