Hi Sean, ... I have a program here that I can use to import them, provided there is enough information in each entry. Send me an example at support at ...
Hi Michelle, ... The output format for the logs is designed to be nice to look at rather than be imported into a spreadsheet. Unfortunately, it isn't possible...
The fields would be something like: <object>,<date>,<telescope>,<ocular>,<description> I can also write a program to reformat it into something skytools2 can ...
Hi Greg, If you supported exporting to a CSV file, that should work for most all import applications. That would be excellent! :-) Steve _____ From:...
I am certainly interested, Greg. By coincidence this is a limitation in the software that I encountered just in the past two weeks as I tried to export my log...
Even better is the ability to position 2 rectangles that are locked with respect to each other, but which can be rotated. One is for the guide chip (which has...
I am so happy with my new GM-8/Gemini and SkyTools 2. Hooked up my old laptop and everything ran just as it should first time. Call up a list, select an...
Quick question for the group with hopes someone will have an answer. I'm looking for a way to add a space between the lines of a printed observing list. What...
... I don't know of a way to do it from ST, but there are other ways to skin this cat. One is to copy your list to the clipboard instead of printing it, paste...
Greg, I'd bet that others would be very interested in this feature. It would be great to get info into and out of the Skytools database in some compatible ...

I would like to search the database and sort stars based on their distance from Earth and display this info (including their distances (light years)) in a...
On a related note, I would like the ability to create FOV circle(s) in the Interactive Atlas (as it is in v2 today), but also have the ability to click on and...
The Ephemeris tab has some really useful information, but for observing a rotating target like Mars it would be very helpful to also have the "central...
Bruce, Not that I know of, but you can get the Central Longitude by right clicking on one the Positions or Nightly Optimal Viewings computed for the Ephemeris ...
Thanks for the response, Julian... I did see that it is possible to right click and get the central longitude for any one entry. I was hoping for a way to...
Just checking to make sure your recovery is going well. Don't overexert yourself on our account. Take your time and get better. Ignore us near the new moon...
I have read that it is possible to use skytools 2 to drive a telescope, computerized with Mel Bartels stepper drive. I have built such a drive on my 20 incher...
Jan, I do not use SkyTools Real Time to drive my telescope yet, but go to http://www.skyhound.com/realtime.html for information about this add-on. I hope this...
Ron, Seems like you went through the correct steps. I verified this by going to Observing List, then Configure Columns and the Configure Display Columns box ...
I want to print charts with the 'print chart for each checked entry' option. I want charts with my 15 mm eyepiece in the eyepiece view part. It doesn't work:...
Found my problem. On the lists you can set the width of the "columns" by left clicking and dragging the column smaller or larger. The magnitude column was ...
Jan, Greetings. Instead of using Print Chart, right click on the target in your list and go to View Scope/Binocs. Under View Scope/Binocs. you will see a ...
