I have exactly the same situation (i.e. the AL Open Clusters and the AL Globular Clusters lists will not import from the CapellaSoft Web). I can, however,...
I've been unable to import these lists using the "Local/Network Files" method or the "Capella Soft Web" method. When I use the "Capella Soft Web" method, I...
Hi Len, Well, that's a head scratcher! It seems that NGC 1943 is in the correct place, yet no label appears... I'll keep looking into it. Thanks, Greg ... --...

Hi Greg, Thanks for looking into this problem. I wish all software vendors were as responsive as you are to questions and problems. I'll retry both options...
Greg, Unfortunately, both import methods are still not working for me. I still see the "Error downloading file!" message when I attempt an import with the...
Many lists suddenly fixed (red check marks) Some update you must have implemented in the lists fixed most of the red-check-mark problems. All that is still not...
Hi Jim, It sounds like you do have some sort of corruption, but I'm not sure exactly what or how it would have happened. Have you had anything interesting...
The sky was not wonderful last night, so I spent a good deal of time playing with the goto on my Tak mount. It has a Temma 2 Jr. system. What I found was...
Hi Bill, It seems likely that there is some sort of configuration problem, but since these appear to be ASCOM driver related issues rather than SkyTools issues...
Hi Bill Just a brief note on how I have used SkyTools with a Tak EM200 Temma-2 Mount to date. After connecting all the cables, powering on Notebook, Mount,...
Thanks for the reply Greg, I've played with it some more and even found answers to some of my questions. The first that comes to mind is that the radio button...
Hi Dennis , ... This I haven't tried. Is it OK to assume that after this is done, one would need to call up that star and sync on it? ... I've experimented...

It seems that I was using the Temma Driver version that had some bugs. I had version 4.2.21. After uploading version 4.2.23 the problem cleared up. I'll...
