Hi John, ... There's a problem with that one. The reason SkyTools uses the B-V color index instead of spectral type is that only a tiny fraction of the ...

Hi Greg, Aside from finding this one of the few top windows programs I use, I must say I also have the same problem labelling. I'm trying to label galaxies....
Have you tried to set the "Color" and "Font" for "Galaxies" in the "Label Styles" tab of the "Chart Preferences" window? Also you must zoom in to about...
Hi Greg Forgive me if this request is in the list of ST 3 items, but I couldn't find my link to the list. I would like to see another filter option for the...
What about sorting on the log icon? Alternatively you can create a new observing list with only the objects you want to observe. Select the AL Double Star...
Hmmm, interesting. I have often used a "copied" list for an evenings observing. I however, missed the checking options for log entries which is useful in...
When you have logged an object you can delete it from the "Yet to observe AL Double Star list". The object will be removed from the list. The log entry itself...
Hi John, ... Ah yes. I run into this when I make comet charts for my web site. I want some of the stars labeled, so I go into the View Controls and set the...
Hi Phil, I am working on improving this in ST3; the current approach falls into the "possible" but "clunky" category. I intend for this to instead be ...
As long as this doesn't remove the labeling of magnitudes in a certain interval. Useful when creating variable star charts and naked eye limiting magnitude...
Hi Roger, ... It wouldn't subtract anything. Here's what I'm thinking right now: On the Labels tab of the View Controls there is an "Activate Labels" ...

This is an important area to put some time into and figure out a solution. Never mentioned it before, but I have always been a bit frustrated by the fact that...
Another solution could be to use the same method for labels as the one that is currently used for controlling the amount of objects? I'm thinking of the...
Hi all, Currently gracing our morning skies is comet C/2006 A1 (Pojmanski), which is easily visible in binoculars in the east at around 5 AM. Some might even...

Greg, Two suggestions from my personal use: 1. How about adding an "x" to the check mark column? I was thinking that sometimes I want to mark some deep sky...
Hi All I was just wondering if anybody is working on putting together a Skytools list for the "All Splendours, No Fuzzies". It's a list put together by Alan...
Would it be hard (spell, 'create a delay' *heh*) to include a date- range capability in Power Search, rather than only the single 'Evening Of '? This would be...
Hi Peter, The sun rise and set times are computed to be when the upper limb of the sun is on the local clear horizon, corrected for refraction under normal ...
I'm trying to compile a viewing list with Designation Search Tool. All items are Messiers; no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the list compiled. I'm...
Hi, Assuming you are already looking at the Designation Search dialog: To create a new observing list click the "New" button. Type the name of your new list. ...
