Pardon if this has been discussed previously. What is the preferred method of saving all of my Observing Lists and Logs. My concern is, though I constantly...
... Hello Just go to the Skytool's data manager and choose what you want to save... For myself I always choose to save everything... but that's up to you.... ...
Hi Kent, I do this as follows: 1. Click the datamanager in the top menu. 2. Choose 'observing lists' in the tabs. 3. Check the features you want to include...
Hi Kent, How have you been? I have this built in distrust regarding hard drives. I back up everything to a CD. I place my SkyTools backup folder on the desktop...
I have, using a CD/RW, and it worked like a charm. However, there's a LOT of recent material suggesting that CDs and to a lesser extent CD/RWs and DVDs are not...
... I recently had to reinstall Windows XP and as a result, virtually everything else, including SkyTools. I have a second (120GB) hard drive in my system that...
... A 'last resort' kind of backup would be to install a Generic Text- only printer on your system and point it to File instead of a real port. Then, you could...
Open the Data Manager. There should be a box that indicates where your files are backedup. Mine goes to the Skytools 2 Backup folder. I thinks its a default. ...
Len, Is your Backup4All program designed to be used specifically with an external hard drive? I use a program called Eazy Backup for backup to CD's. I only use...
A supernova of magnitude 11.3 was recently discovered in NGC 2403. See http://www.rochesterastronomy.com/snimages/ for more information. Roger Persson...
Hi, I can access a network folder fine in Network Places on WinXP, and I tried turning off my firewall even though there was no reason to suspect a problem. I...
Hi Scott, ... Yes -- it has to be mapped to a drive letter. It's on the list to be fixed. Thanks, Greg -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software Developer ...
Hi all, I'm back from my vacation. My thanks to those who answered questions so well in my absence and to our co-moderator for keeping things moving along...
Hi all, An unusually bright supernova has appeared in the nearby galaxy NGC 2403. Extragalactic supernovae are typically fainter than 15th magnitude, but this...

I tried to add a jpg-image (using browse) to the object information about the newly found supernova in ngc2304, but it does not work for me. The software just...
Hi, ... Looks like a bug because I can't attach an image either... I'll look into it. In the meantime I suggest attaching the image to the parent galaxy...
I have uploaded some pictures of NGC 2403 and the recent supernova to the photo section. I have tried to give adequate credit, but due to limited text space...
Hi Greg, I've been using ST2 for some time now, and must say that I'm pretty impressed with it! Great work! Just a few weeks ago, I ran into one peculiar bug....
Hi Mitch, ... That's a puzzle for sure. Did you copy any logs from your other installation? What version of SkyTools do you have installed? The only thing I...
Hi Kent, ... That's pretty weird, particularly when it gets the comets ok. The only thing I can think of is some sort of corruption in your supplemental ...
I downloaded the information in the manner you suggested. Everything worked fine. Then I tried downloading again, this time from the Observing List/Current...
Hi Kent, ... I've been smelling a rare and very subtle bug here for some time, but so far I have very little to go on. I'll spend a little time digging around...
Hi, in Observing list tab there is no mag column. The magnitude/opacity checkbox is checked in Configure Display Columns dialog. However there is mag column in...
Hi, ... My guess is that the column is being displayed with a zero width. I suggest you enable it and then with your mouse drag the right border of the column...
