Can anyone answer the following question for me. Is it possible to get the same control over Alternate ID names as it is for the labels on the charts? I...
... When viewing a double star, for example, Mirach can I have the stars labeled to show it belongs to the double star Mirach? (I'm still reading the manual) ...
Hi, ... With the sky simulation window open, click your mouse in the telescope view pane. Then go up to the VIEW button, LABELS tab, click under OTHER LABLES,...
... ahh. Thank you thats better. Now I can see what EP's I need. Well my first list is searching for doubles that are easily split. Like 20-30 arc sec. Is...
Hello Again, ... Separation? ... Not that I am aware of, the more I look into doubles and multiple stars the more I am finding out that it is a lot harder than...
... I don' think it would be that hard to sort by separation. If you look at the object info ST already "sorts" out how many stars are in a family, the...
... As far as I can tell this isn't the case: every time I enter -1 for the year is stays as -1... If you can provide a specific example I'll be happy to look...
Hi, ... You don't have the same level of control as on the charts, but you should be able to make your alternate designation column show Struve IDs ...
Hi, ... Not currently. The problem with using the observing list for separations is that the list contains star systems which may contain up to 23 component...
Hi, ... You can label the stars in the system by component by checking the "Multiple Star Components" box on the Labels tab of the View Controls dialog. That...
When Microsoft released Service Pack 2 for Windows XP I was asked about compatibility issues regarding SkyTools 2 and its access to the web. I am happy to...
Greg, Is it possible to have the Dec Lines on the Interactive Chart reduced from 5 to 4? I find that when it does put more than one unlabled line of dec on...
Hi Thomas, I hadn't really thought of Google, but I am working on adding the ability to get info directly from within SkyTools from NED (for galaxies) and...
Hi, I wasn't aware that the line spacing wasn't working properly for certain zoom levels. I'll look into it. Oh, and thanks for the arithmetic lesson! Greg ...
Hi, In looking at it I'm not sure it isn't working properly after all. Think in terms of minutes of arc rather than decimal degrees: five divisions is 12 arc...
Hi Terry, ... Yes, you are right. I believe it is working as designed (and in a reasonable manner). I guess the trick is to think in terms of 60 arc minutes...
After Computing and creating a Ephemerides list. If I select another tab and return the list in the Ephemerides is cleared. Is this suppose to happen or is...
This may seem like a silly question. What mounts do you find work well with the real-time telescope control with ST2? Are there any that don't? Steve...
Hi Kent, ... I've been waiting for a reliable magnitude and size estimate. Assuming a typical size for the coma of this comet yields a quite large object (6')...
Hi Mark, ... That's correct. ... Do you mean to assign a key to functions that currently don't have a key assigned, or are you asking for the capability to...
... I think SkyTools usez ASCOM. You can check here: http://ascom-standards.org/drivers.html I'm still waiting for ASCOM to support Orion intelliscope. I...
Steve, I use ST2 RT with my ServoCAT driven AstroSystems TeleKit and love the two together. I use the ASCOM driver developed by Peter Eschman and incorporated...
Hi Mark, Cool! Thanks. Yeah, that would be cool if Orion's Intelliscope series were supported. I hear there's a telescope simulator for the ASCOM standard....
