This may have been discussed before but is there an automatic way to convert directly an entire catalogue (such as the NSV catalogue) into a new observing list...
I've updated my observing pages for June: http://www.skyhound.com/sh/skyhound.html Including the Comet Chasing page: http://www.skyhound.com/sh/comets.html The...
Does anyone know if you can compress the range of star sizes in the charts? In order to get fainter stars to print out I have to up the naked-eye magnitude...
Hi Fabrizio, ... Do this using the Database Power Search tool: select the Stars tab, under "Databases to Search" check "Primary Reference", under "Include ...
Hi, ... This can be a little tricky. The basic idea is that the star sizing is supposed to be the same for the display and for the printed charts, so use the...

I have been out of the country for awhile (South Pacific eclipse!), and off the SkyTools Yahoo site an even longer time. I'm sure this has been discussed much...
Thanks a lot, Greg. I've learned to use better and better the Power search tool. I think that, weather permitting, I will use this to do some observation at...
The software's accounting for mean extinction may be correct, that's not my point. The problem is that when printing charts prior to an observing session,...
Excuse the delay in expressing my best wishes for Greg's recovery. I've been out of the country and off line for too long a period, and didn't know about...
I just wanted to let Greg know how useful SkyTools was on board the ship m/v Discovery in the South Pacific April 2005. One night I tried observing using a...
Hi, ... Rather than "a big assumption" I'd call this a good observing practice. Typically, if you observe the object within an hour or two of the optimum time...
... Just a note to say that I received the card and it was a very nice gesture. My thanks to everyone who signed it and to Al in particular for putting it...
Greg, I live down in Fort Davis and come through your neck of the woods now and then. My question: is the obsevatory up there still involved in the 'sky...
Hi Tom, ... If you mean the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) then yes, it is still ongoing: http://www.sdss.org/ Clear skies, Greg -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical...
Hi Kent, Thanks for the report. I always love hearing about how people use SkyTools. ... Clear skies, Greg -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software Developer ...
I've been busy with work and I actually got two weekends in a row of observing so I hadn't checked the SkyTools messages in a while. Well what a surprise!...
Greg, We all want you to take it easy. No hard work, just relaxation for awhile. However, if you are like me, you are probably getting bored rapidly. So... ...
Hello, This email message is a notification to let you know that a file has been uploaded to the Files area of the skytools group. File :...

I should also mention that the "Observing List Description" contains the full table of exoplanet data: semimajor axis, eccentricity, radial velocity amplitude,...
Greetings: "I'm telling you, *nothing* beats ST2 for observing planning, so assembling a SkyTools observing list for our use was a must." Greg! Greg! I sense a...
Two nights ago I added a new telescope to "Favorite Telescopes". Apparently, in my haste, I accidentally deleted one of my telescopes. The one I deleted was...
Hello, I think... just restore your back up and after you would have to reentry the new scope It should work.... That's why I keep at least 3-4 backup... Good...
Hi Kent, Not to worry--a copy of the telescope information is stored with each individual log entry. All you need to do is recreate your telescope for future...
I am new to using Skytools2, Should I be able to import the file exoplanet file(exoplanet.STX). into my observers list? or am I missing the point here? I...
Well, that extrasolar planet observing list is great. Wonderful idea. There is a ton of information in the List Description. How do I view that in a...
Greg, I know you aren't even thinking in this direction at the moment (and shouldn't be), but I had a thought and need to get it written down before it...
