hi all, I was searching the Kahoutek PN list using the Object Requestor, and it lists some, and says "500 total, listing 140" in the box at the bottom. ...
My apologies as well. In retrospect, my post seemed kind of snippy! Didn't mean to. I helped Roger (in Sweden) get some of this plexiglass because we...
Look at the range presented and take note of the *exact* format used in the list. Enter a larger number than what you see in the list for your "next search"...
I am not sure that's going to cut it Art. I am not exactly sure what Greg means when he says "500 total, listing 140", but when I did a Database Power search>...
Hi Jim, ... This is something I'll certainly consider. It would help me to know what other uses you envision. Thanks, Greg -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical...
Hi Mark, ... That's a very interesting observation. There are Kohoutek designations that don't appear in the list, and worse than that, they don't seem to ...
... I'm working on several interesting projects. In fact, I have officially begun work on SkyTools 3, which is going to be breaking new ground in many...
To those who have not yet upgraded to SkyTools 2 from SkyTools 1.x, January 2004 is your last chance to upgrade at half price. This offer will end on February...
In recent months I have been contacted by several clubs regarding group discounts. The result has been so successful that we are announcing an official...
Yes, Art was very helpful. I'm sorry Sloan has closed the door for foreign countries. The plexiglass is of good quality. I searched for something like this...
Hi Greg, My envisioned uses fall into two categories. First, items which aren't in any of the catalogs, e.g. globular clusters in Andromeda, which I currently...

... I agree - For example, I tend to refer to all NGC objects by their NGC number when dealing with a list or database, unless it's a Messier list, then it's...
Ji Jim, Thanks for your comments. I am considering some sort of free form column. In the meantime I'd like to comment on some of your comments: ... I think...
There is a freeware program out there for astronomers to turn your screen red in many different shades and levels of brightness. Or blue or green. It's neat! I...

... To tell you the truth I don't get this and similar suggestions of using another software product for night vision mode. It was my belief that SkyTools...

Greg, in my experience, SkyTools has by far the best red screen implementation of any astro software. The problem is the other software I use. I do mostly...
