While at the Summer Star Party in Savoy, MA. I was observing with two other friends with a SCT. I was using the Messier and Hershel lists trying to find...
Hi all, I was entering my observation for TSP 2006 and tried to enter Barnard 228, a large dark nebula located in Lupus. It shows in Uranometria 2000 V2 page...
Jeff, The object is in MegaStar 5, but all it has is the coordinates and Size as 2.0'. Make sure you have the DSO catalog Barnard turned on. Steve Goldberg...
Try a search for: DC 338.8+016.5C This appears to be the region. Dunno why B227 isn't in the database. My past experiences with Skytools in situations like...

m0bius: Just a typo I'm sure - but B227 actually /is/ in the ST db....& B228 is the subject. ~8) Jeff: One thing I've noted for data points like SIMBAD &...

Starhopper44, Thanks for the information. I’m impressed with the amount of info you found. I too have the NSOG and found B 228 in it, of course, after I...
I'm new to SkyTools but that is something I'd really like to see too. Maybe a more simplistic solution might be possible in a future version. Instead of...
Hi all, I'm back. For the record that gurgling sound you hear faintly is all the trout in the streams of Colorado heaving a great sigh of relief. :-) I had a...
... Bad news: There is currently no bulk DSS downloading in ST2. Good news: It is coming in ST3. Clear skies, Greg -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software...
Hi Mark, ... Yes, this is coming in ST3. ... That one's pretty hard. Maybe someday. But ST3 will offer the ability to set a global designation priority...
Hi, I'm not really sure why B228 isn't there; it is likely that is was missing from the version of Barnard's catalog that I used. I note that SIMBAD says it...
Hi Mike, That's an interesting idea. I'm still experimenting with new ways to move the chart about. We'll see what develops. It may take some trials of...
Aloha Greg, Is there an easy way in ST2 to change the primary designation of an object. If, for example, an object's primary designation is "Hercules Cluster"...
Sssshhhhhhh!!!! Nobody mention to Greg that we finished coding ST3 while he was away!!!! Shhhhhhhhh!!!!! Fred Kiesche (FPK3) My books are water; those of great...

Hi all.... For those looking for info on the Barnard 'Dark Objects' objects... There seems to be a spate of interest lately in these challenging objects. I...
... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ My bad - J2000 coordinates ARE shown thru-out....as are the 1875's in most if not all places. I've got...
Hi Paul, ... No, not directly. What you can do is to set up the alternate designation column in your observing list. This column, which can be enabled and...
Hi, ... That's likely because it was added to the GCVS after the SkyTools 2 variable star database was created. I checked, and it is in my test version of...
Ahh...the SuppDB Ed'r....good thinking. *smecks forehead* Thanx! + + + ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'd wondered about that before - how you come up with...
Hi Greg; Just for the behavioural content, in case it's of any value to you.... I was downloading a 90arcmin DSS image for the IC 4628 & Trumpler 24 region,...
Hi, I have a function that handles characters that can't be used in file names. Either I somehow didn't use it for DSS images (duh!) or it has a bug in it....

Daylight savings time can be a blessing or a curse, of sorts. Not only does it delay the onset of darkness, when our afterwork hours confine the period we have...
Hello Gregg, Is there a way of customizing the object information that appears on the stauts line for the Interactive Atlas and Sky Simulation charts? The...
