Hi, I'm less than a newbie, I just ordered SkyTools2 yesterday afternoon and am eagerly awaiting delivery. I am considering a future purchase of Real Time for...
... Hi Jim, I can say that using Skytools with the real time option, attached to my AN on my little 10inch push to dob on a platform is way cool. I can't...
I'm a newbie to this group, and have been experiencing some weird issues while trying to use the Real-Time addon. I have a 10" Intelliscope, and am using an...
Thanks Mark, sounds great! I just want to see if it plays nicely with the ServoCat motor controls. Once I know that, I'm off and running! Jim Walsh 15"...
... While I don't use it for anything telescope related, I also have an Inspiron 9300 with the Radio Shack USB-Serial adapter... and I have problems with it on...

Hi Matt; The problem might be from the scope's onboard nav-system still trying to control the scope - not 'releasing' it to the external program. I know for...
Jim, Yes, it works well with the ServoCAT/ArgoNavis combination. The ArgoNavis needs to be set to Catalog, From Planetarium. I've used it on my Obsession 20....
Jim, as Peter E. said, it works quite well with AN/SC. Set the comm port, initiate the connection, set AN to Catalog | From Planetarium. I will also be at...
Peter, Great news! I'll look for you at Okie-Tex. I'll be arriving at Obsession Row on Wednesday and staying until the end. I'm driving a brown Honda CRV. ...
Okay, I've defined my telescope, a 300mm scope with a 2730 focal length. But how do I add my camera instead of a eyepiece. I know that the telescope/camera...
Hi Neil, ... First the bad news: SkyTools 2 is designed primarily for visual observation so it doesn't support camera fields of view. The good news: SkyTools...
The SkyTools 2.2e update fixes several bugs that have come to my attention. For a complete list of fixes please see the download page. For more information...
In final testing of the new update I discovered the Bowell's astorb.dat file is apparently temporarily inaccessible at his Lowell site. I discovered that there...
I've added new eyepieces to match the effective FOV of each of my cameras, which works reasonably well, although you have to do a bit of mental juggling to...
Thanks for the update Greg. I just installed the update with great anticipation, hoping the obstructed horizon bug would be fixed, but testing revealed it was...
Sorry, John, you beat me to it. I was just composing a private explanation to you. I'll post it here instead. The problem with some objects not being...
Fair enough, thanks for the explanation Greg. I do appreciate that it's a unique feature - in fact it's one of the main reasons I've switched over to using ST2...
Ah, a time frame!! Jan http://home.wanadoo.nl/jhm.vangastel/Astronomy/ ... From: "Greg Crinklaw" <crinklaw@...> To: <skytools@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
Sorry that this drifts OT... Jim, I haven't been to Okie-Tex before, where is Obsession row located? I don't imagine it will be hard to spot if one arrives...
Thanks to both Peters! I'll stop by at Okie-Tex, I aarive on Wednesday. Jim Walsh 15" Obsession #1245 w/Argo Navis & ServoCat TV102 PST ... From: Peter...
Peter, As you approach the star party, make the first left. Obsession row is along the left side. Try going to the map on the Okie-Tex website. They have...
Hi Greg, A quick update, as promised. I have tweaked the horizon definition to try and minimise the steps between points and it certainly has improved things -...
Hi, I posted this several hours ago and it still has yet to appear. I'm sure it will eventually, but in the interest of attempting a quicker answer, I'm...
I downloaded 2.2e a couple of days ago and had no problems with the installation process. I will say that the "e" was a little hard to make out on the splash...
Hi, ... You couldn't have deleted the files or else they wouldn't still be there! My guess is that you originally installed SkyTools to a custom location but...
For those who may be interested, I have added an observing list consisting of the three bodies that were added to the new dwarf planet category recently...
