Hi John, ... I already thought of that. :-) I've also included a switch to turn the obstructed horizon on/off too. Happy New Year! Greg -- Greg Crinklaw ...
I noticed that with 2.2f that I had four identical rows for 73P/ Schwassmann-Wachmann in the "Current Comets" observing list and that the other components...
I installed 1.05 on my Windows XP Pro (non-classic scheme) but it doesn't update the Sun: it's different from the latest sun image from SOHO. Also I noticed...
Hi Roger, ... This sounds like the bug I found in the 2.2f beta version: it could lead to multiple entries for comets and confuse log/notes entries in the ...
Hi Roger, That's a good catch! Thanks again, as always. I removed the inadvertent reference to expiration and have released a new version 1.06 for download....

Greg, I've had ST2 working for awhile, but recently installed a new hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on all software. I created a separate partition...
Ah, sorry, never mind. I struggled thru and found my error. I had forgotten I had to install the full program after the initial install sequence to load all...
Hey Greg; I was looking up an open cluster named Markarian 38 -- punched it in on the IA, & a tiny target came up. Zoomed in a couple steps & it was a galaxy....
Greetings: Picky, picky. Most people would be happy with two for the price of one! ;) Fred Kiesche (FPK3) I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of...
Hi, ... What happened is that Markarian not only published a catalog of galaxies, but also discovered several open clusters. Clear skies, Greg -- Greg Crinklaw...

Hello, I've just completed my annual re-install of my notebook computer, updated to SkyTools 2.2g and also upgraded to Norton Internet Security 2007. Using...
That's great news, Dennis. I haven't changed anything to do with accessing the Internet, so it must be NIS 2007. I'm glad they finally fixed their bug! Clear...
Hi Greg; I've been working with Open Clusters lately....and been reminded of something that I've wondered about for a good while. I've noticed that when I...
Oops - forgot to include. The 'member indicator' feature would be a HUGE help in identifying the really scraggly & widespread clusters. Thx! ... system, ... ...
Greg, I was playing with setting the new daylight saving time start and end days and realized that the new start day this year cannot be set since it will be...
Hi, From what I can tell, the problem with open clusters historically is that they are obvious in the sky, yet their exact center is somewhat subjective. The...
Thanks Roger. This is on my list of things to take care of, but I haven't gotten around to it just yet. Clear skies, Greg ... -- Greg Crinklaw Astronomical...
Hi Mark, ... Mine works fine. Have you checked your alternate ID column settings? If not, right-click on the column heading. If you updated from an early...
Hi, I interpret you as meaning to say, "...centers are NOT always accurately determined...", but OK, no problem. Thanx for explaining, it does confirm some of...
I came up with a couple of ideas (not very original) while using ST2: 1) Mouse scroll-wheel support. I thought this could be used for zoom on the interactive...
My club members have been out observing this comet so I pulled up Sky Tools to find it and couldn't. Isn't it in the updates? I found it from some other...
