Hi Greg; In ST3, could we get an ability to open an atlas/chart on a known Alt- Az point at a given time? This would be good for predicting where satellite...
I'm constructing another 'Challenge' list for users, consisting of the 39 members of the subject Galaxy Group. Three of the members are UGCA designees, for...
... My understanding is that any objects added via the Supplemental DB Editor on the source system are automatically exported and added to the receiving...
Hi Starhopper, I am interested! Thanks, Jan http://home.wanadoo.nl/jhm.vangastel/Astronomy/ ... From: starhopper44 To: skytools@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday,...
Hi all; Thanks Len - thought so but wanted to be sure. Jan - kewl. I've got something to clear up first. My source data says one object - UGCA 292 is aka CVn...
Hi all, Last night I paired SkyTools/RealTime to a 14" Meade and showed off the resultant muscle to a group of visiting German amateurs. Despite being total...
Hi, ... I'll think about it, but my first impulse is that being able to enter alt/Az coords is of limited utility, because these coordinate change pretty...
... As Len pointed out this is completely transparent to the user. When you export an observing list all relevant data is exported along with it. Clear skies,...
Hi, ... This one a real pain to look up. For some reason NED doesn't recognize UCGA 292 (remember, use NED for galaxies -- it's more definitive than SIMBAD)....
Hi Paul, ... Use the telescope simulation chart for telrad circles. It can place them in them either in the naked eye view or in the finder view. The ...
... Alt- ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hi again Greg; Understood -- that's why I specified 'at a given time'. Shoulda better said 'for a given time'. Thinking of...
Hi-- I was told that I can use Sky tools to set up an observing list and then trigger a telescope slew which is passed to The Sky 6 which is controlling my...
Assuming you do have (or get) the realtime plugin as Jack mentions, then you just need to select "TheSky Controlled Telescope" in the ASCOM scope chooser in...
Thanks Jack and John--- I had the Realtime addon, the problem was I had not installed the ASCOM package. I've done this now and all is well, at least I have it...
Greg, I just wanted to post a quick thank you for such a great program. I was just posting a recomendation for it on a forum and felt I really needed to tell...
I would like to second that. I am a manual push to starhopper and when I use SkyTools charts customized to my scope configuration, finding things is a breeze....
Hi Greg (or others who know this), I'm creating a customized southern sky target list using SkyTools. I created the Observing List, then copied it into Excel....
I've sometimes seen "double" used for "optical double" where the stars just appear to be close since they lie on the same optical path, with "binary" referring...
(ST2) I was looking at my finderscope settings on two scope definitions and noticed some discrepancies. On my desktop PC, two scopes have the exact same finder...

Greg, I wanted to tell you your Skytools is the best software and the only one I ever use when I'm at the scope or indoors planning things. I should know as I...
Hi I've just been playing around with SkyTools Real Time and Dragon Naturally Speaking V8 (Voice control software) on our desktop PC in the study. Using a ...
Hi Dennis; Since it's interpreting keyboard keys as 'shortcut' commands, I wonder if saying "Page Up" & "Page Down" for In & Out respectively, would activate...
Hi Starhopper Thanks for the suggestion - I tried it and it did not work, unfortunately. However, when I said "Press 1" the "Set field of view indicator"...
I don't use goto technology, so on long nights my neck doesn't always like my telescope's straight-barrell Meade 8x50 finderscope. Does anyone know of a...
Man, do I sympathize. I don't like right angle finders because I just can't abandon the line-of-sight technique. Like it too much to go to right angle...
