I am sure that this question has come up before, but is there anyway of converting and/or transfering an xls file directly into Skytools? I rarely get ...
... Manually call up each object and add it to a list? :-) Seriously, this is a list of, what, 10,000+ objects - That would make for a pretty unwieldy...
... That is not funny Len..:) ... It is a list. I can make it more wieldy by using the filters that Skytools has. ... I have no doubt that most, if not all, of...
Hi, ... Why yes--yes I have. Regarding a 10,000 object observing list: in ST3 there is more to compute for each object. A list that long may leave you waiting...
... I can hear a sigh of weariness in that response... Looking more closely at the list, it appears that a majority of it is the complete NGC catalog with the ...
OK, I'll be the first to admit that I didn't see the asteroid at or around the position indicated by SkyTools. I searched from 2:30- 4:30AM, updating the...
Hi Mr Crinklaw How are you? I am back from summer camp now and they were suposed to have a astonomy course but did not. They said it was because they couldnot...
Well, we didn't use Sky Tools but we did see XP14. At best it was mag 11, but only for a second or so at a time with 5 to 10 minutes of nothing. We tracked it...
Hi Greg, I've just been using the Ephemeris calculation function to get some viewing times for 2004 XP14. I have an obstructed horizon entered for my viewing...
Hi, Congrats on your spotting & tracking. We had a wave of violent thunderstorms come thru so I didn't get a shot at it. Hasn't been a very successful...
I have been working on observing dark stuff Has anyone put together the best and darkest or top 50 dimmest, type list Any help with resources on the web to aid...
Ooo, good idea! In the field, we didn't notice anything drastic, but I'll run everything but Guide 8, since that was on someone else's laptop. Give me a day or...
... laptop. ... want ... ^^^^^^^^^^ Last first - thanks for your concern. Can't yet wander too far from the throne room, if ya know what I mean....but the...
Howdy! This is what I have - Starry Night Pro Plus v5.8.2 TheSky v6.0.0.40 I used Craig's data for XP14 In Startools. First trough the SuppDB and then as a...
Hi Greg, I had purchased an EM-200 Takahashi mount and using SkyTools 2 at this itme. The purchase was made several months ago and because of viewing being...
Hi Greg, I haven't been following the group for a while so if this has already been requested, I apologize. One of the things I've wished for many times while...
The group I was with did a lot of digging and the best we came up with was that we were about 1.1 degrees off from the "true" position. So, no we did not see...
Something looks wrong there - the RA/DEC look roughly similar, but the Az/Alt looks way off for SkyTools. Are you sure the time was set correctly for SkyTools...
Hi John - Good catch! I reentered the location data and time I have and it still keeps coming up with the same sideral time. Don't know if I'm doing something...
Ken, I'm not sure where the problem lies but I thought I'd let you know that I have the EM-200 Temma-PC and have used ASCOM and the Temma drivers successfully...
Bernie, I think the problems that I am having have to do with files that are corrupted for some unknown reason. In the past I have had to zip my files and...
Has anyone seen this problem? I created a new telescope in the Favorite Telescopes window. And then I deleted the default one. Now in the Sky Simulation...
... Naw, I was just being silly. I am, of course, weary of the fact that I'm taking way too long to finish ST3 (and I'm loathe to spend much time on anything...
Hi David, I hope you had a good time anyhow! With regard to orbit data for minor planets and comets: no, your data will not be deleted. When you import new...
Hi Bernie, ... Yes, that's on the list (somewhere) for ST3. Thanks for reminding me--I'll make sure it really is on the list. Clear skies, Greg -- Greg...
... That's not a good idea! As updates have been released there have been inevitable changes in some of the data formats. The later versions of the program...
Hi Tom et al., ... There isn't any connection between the position of the minor planet and the sidereal time. The sidereal time is computed from your time and...
Greg, I am glad to hear from you! I know you were away for a few days. You response makes perfect sense and I will follow you advice and then let you know how...
Hi, ... What version are you running? I recall a similar problem in an early version that was (supposedly) fixed. Be sure to download and apply the version...
