... I'm all for that, but isn't it more a function of the program that is receiving the logs than of SkyTools? I'm not that familiar with this sort of feature...
... Yes, I do think it's a good idea to encourage that stx files containing notes be signed. The place to do this is in the description for the stx file that...
Hi, ... The XML question came up once before, but the person who suggested it wasn't able to explain how the XML would actually be used in practice by another...
... I was thinking of SkyTools producing the printed output directly, rather than sending it to another program for formatting/printing. ... I wasn't referring...
I see Greg's point. But I'm wondering - you know how charting text/captions/labels can be formatted to user preference? Couldn't the logging function (and...
Hi all! I had this wonderful idea.....just wonderful! Ohhhhh....awright.....not all THAT wonderful. But a better shine on the wax coating, at least. *heh*...
It's about SkyTools Observing Lists -- do you have a better suggestion for where the SkyTools collective could keep abreast of developments? "SkyTools users...
... I must have misunderstood. I was under the impression that it was about Observing Lists that were imported into SkyTools that were compiled by folks who...
I often use Sky Tools 2 to generate lists to take to the observatory on nights when I'm doing an outreach program. Sky Tools is very good at producing these...
Hi, ... That's a great idea, but unfortunately I think that's more a function of the Browser. Even if there was a way to plug that into IE, that would leave...
Hi Peter, ... Your alternate designation column isn't configured properly. It should not typically be displaying the same designation in both columns. Click ...
Greg, Thanks for the prompt reply. That's what I was looking to accomplish -- my list for the observatory session tonight is complete (it's a PNe program this...
Hi Greg; I see in SkyTools, references to a multitude of objects categorized as 'Globules'; & which have toggleable position indicators. In every instance...
Hi again, Greg; Pursuant to our conversation Friday re the subject object, & the mis- identities & 'bad linkage' within. I realized after hanging up that I ...
Well, inconsistent behavior at any rate. I've noticed that occasionally I've been unable to use the cursor keys to move up/down, home/end, etc. while working...
Greg and fellow Skytools users, I recently acquired the program and am wondering how to get a unified understanding of how to operate the program? I have been...
Hi Bob, First off, welcome to the fold! Greg can probably provide the best effective & concise overview of the program, but I'll also try to help with my...
Addendum -- when I said "...parts of its capabilities I still struggle with", I was speaking of the Logging function. I'm very comfortable with about...
... Not really. After all, they are dark... What they amount to is the collapsed cores within dark nebulae, but I don't think they require a class to...
Hi Len, That's some good sleuthing there! I'll look into it. Thanks, Greg ... -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical Software Developer Cloudcroft, New Mexico, USA...
Hi, ... The problem you found is a cross-wiring of two different diffuse nebulae in the database. It isn't an easy fix without creating replacement databases....
... That's a pretty sweeping question to try to answer. ;-) I think I've already said as much as I can think of to say in the help system. So rather than...
Does anyone know if there is a way to select a different Primary ID for a given object? It seems the common name, if there is one, is used as the primary ID....
I dug this thread out of the archives in hopes I'd find an answer to my question, but didn't. If I understand things correctly (big if) the "near maximum...
StarHopper and Greg, Thank you for your suggestions. I think they are shaping a solid beginning for getting fully into the program. I have some observing...
Is it possible to view the atlas in an equatorial orientation? I can turn on equatorial gridlines, but can't find a way to rotate the actual display? Cheers, ...
