Hello, Greg Any chance of adding the South African Astronomical Observatory best objects list to the Version 2 list of .stx files? I originally submitted it...
Greetings! I am a new SkyTools user and have a question about some functionality within the program. Given the proliferation of binoviewer usage -- which I...
Hi Dennis, ... I'll convert it in the next day or two and post it at our web site. I'll let you know whn it's available. Clear skies, Greg -- Greg Crinklaw ...
Hi Peter, ... I'll have to admit that I hadn't thought of binoviewers before. I'll be sure to support them in the next full version. Thanks! Greg -- Greg...
Greetings: Well it's there! Open Sky Tools. Click on Designation Search Tool. Type "M 13" (no quotes, but use space) in the "Quick Search" area. Hit return or...
I can't seem to find M13 in SkyTools. It is missing in the observing list and cannot be found through a search either. Is this a bug or am I doing anything...
Greetings: I just remembered a thread or two we've had on this. M13's primary designation is the "Keystone Cluster". So, if you call up the Messier list on ST,...
Heinz: I replied to your message...but somehow Yahoo put my reply up on the message sequence BEFORE your original query! So, take a look at the message before...
Binoviewers are supported. You just treat them as a barlow, with the magnification 1.4x or whatever. ... From: Greg Crinklaw [mailto:crinklaws@...] ...
Hi Charles, ... That's quite true, but one should also account for the "binocular effect" where the light is halved between two eyes, affected the limiting...
Thank you, Fred, for you promp reply. I had never heard of the name "Keystone" for M13. Where would that name come from? But I found it now and that is the...
I'm sure there is some light reduction from the increased optical interfaces in the light path, but it always "feels" like I can see deeper with my binocular...
How do I print the overhead charts with black and white labels? I tried going into Chart Preferences and changing the label colors from red to black but it...
Okay, here's what I was trying to ask (I shouldn't have posted the original message in such a rush)... How do I get the overhead chart to print using black for...
Hi Al, ... The printed chart preferences are separate from the on-screen ones. Are you accessing the chart preferences from the Print Chart dialog? If not,...
... Why does SkyTools default to using red anywhere on printed charts? The labels can't be read with a red flashlight. Perhaps blue or green instead? Michael...
Hi Charles, ... I don't know of any observations from the field, but the theory can be found on the web. From memory: the light intensity is reduced by a ...
Hi Michael, ... I'm not really sure. Maybe an oversight on my part. The charts should default to simple black on white. If you use the Data Manager, Import ...
Hi Dennis, ... I have uploaded this list to our web site (browse for "South African Astronomical Observatory Best") from the Import tab of the Data Manager. ...
... Thanks for the tip. This isn't really an issue for me, since I now print my charts to a laser printer. In fact, SkyTools was the main motivation for...
I'm a radar engineer by trade, so I'm going to use a radar signal processing example for why using binocular viewers might help: Think of each radar pulse as...
Hello, Greg Thank you - much appreciated. Cheers Dennis ... From: Greg Crinklaw To: skytools@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 4:38 AM Subject: Re:...
Hello, Greg This is a report on accessing the internet from SkyTools. Software running: SkyTools 2.2d Norton Internet Security 2004 (Live Update running i.e. I...
Thanks for the analogy Charles. I would agree with your conclusion, to a point. I find that for most objects the binoviewer improves the view. The exceptions...
