Hi Tom, ... By that last sentence do you mean by selecting "CapellaSoft Web" and then browsing the various databases? I presume your failure is when you select...
Don't think I mentioned VISTA, even though I am in the process of collecting the dozen or so drivers I need to enable my Bluetooth module, Radeon 9550 Video...
Hi Tom, ... Sorry--brain fart. :-) ... I'm not sure what data you mean? An object list? But if you are simply looking for double stars within a certain part...
Hi Greg; I presume this would be a circular area, e.g. "within '#' degrees/arcmins 9etc) of object 'x'? I've been wondering how the new 'Skypoints' (? is that...
Hi, ... It's a circular area. At the moment I don't see the point of searching rectangular or other shaped areas of the sky (other than a constellation of...
Hi Joe, I'd love to install Vista but I can't afford the inevitable time away from ST3 right now. I will make sure to either upgrade myself or have a few beta...
Starhopper, That would be fun. I'd like to have a copy. Thanks for the effort! Marcia ... Galaxies' for awhile. Would you guys be interested in having a copy?...
I've been given a lot of good feedback regarding SkyTools2 on several online forums. It sounds like a great tool. However; before I make a purchase I want to...
Hi Steve, ... Check. ... Check. ... Check. ... SkyTools 2 has eyepiece simulation charts that include Barlows, etc. Support for CCD/imaging FOVs is coming in...
Thank you Greg, I appreciate the reply. Will the FOV indicators in SkyTools 3 allow the user to see both the imaging and guide chips for SBIG cameras? Steve ...
... Actually, I used an old PIII 800 (not 600, but...) with 384MB for quite a while with SkyTools and it worked fine. I noticed its age with some other apps,...
Sure thing. I'm still working on it tho, so will be awhile. I thought of a small problem - the list will be from my perspective (mid-Atlantic coast) so a few...
Just installed SkyTools on my new Windows Vista machine, updated to ver 2.2g, and restored my data. All looks good! If i stumble on to any oddities i'll let...
I am running skytools in Vista and everything works fine except the help. Vista does not have WinHlp32.exe which is what Skytools uses for its help. So help is...
Hi Len, thanks for your reply. That's good to know. Someday I'll upgrade laptops, but for now I'm stuck with "the beast" :^) Steve ... MB ... hardware for ... ...
Hi, ... Well, that's a pain. Microsoft claims that there will be a download that will restore the help, but apparently it hasn't been released yet. See:...
Hi Steve, ... Yes, that's the plan. I'm going to work closely with the beta test team to finalize the design, since I'm not currently doing imaging myself. ...
Hi, ... Yeah, I was thinking PII. I use SkyTools in the field on my really old PII. It should do just fine on a PIII. What happens on a slow machine is that...
Hi Guys, I'd be particularly interested to know how the Nightvision mode works (or not). The other area of concern would be Internet access. You might want to...
I can download list just fine. The night vision works the same as it does in XP. Even the wallpaper goes black. I have tried everything I can think of with...
... Greg, I can't provide you with more details other than what's in this email, since I wiped out my Vista partition and decided to stick with XP for now,...
I hadn't noticed that the help doesn't work until now. Downloads seem fine and nightmode works except there is a gap along the right hand edge of the screen....
Greg, I recently bought a windows vista laptop. I have loaded skytoos2.2g and I a restore from a backup from my home xp machine. I brought in my logs ok, but...
I have not experienced any of those issues. My telescope and eyepiece data, observing list and logs all imported just fine. Greg if you need more info or help...
