I've been experimenting with driving my telescope through the Sky Tools Real Time add on. It works presently with a telephone type wire connector and supplied...
Are you certain you're selecting the correct serial port number? Have you checked in windows device manager to see which serial port the dongle was assigned...
Bill, I assume that you have installed the latest version of ASCOM and are selecting ASCOM supported Telescope and ServoCAT from the Configure window. Check...
Hi Jack, Nope, ServoCAT v4.2.2 supporst comm ports from 1 to 16. This is the driver version in the ASCOM 4.1 Platform. I know, because I developed the driver. ...
Jack, That seems to be it. After changing port settings, I got to the telescope connected with success. It was set up on port 7. I'll set it up and give it...
Peter, ' Yes, you are right. It was my dongle that only supported COM 1 to 4 - I think! Its been a month since I used the Air Cables with my CAT and SkyTools...
Hi Bill Here is a link to an article: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/index.php?id=63,399,0,0,1,0 on how I connected my Tak EM200 Temma 2 to an HP iPAQ hx4700...
I'm looking forward to that mag 20 goodness..... :-P Greg - is the first beta including imaging support, or is that development still on the todo list? John...
Hi John, ... I'll make the call for the first beta in about two weeks (perhaps less). We will begin with the "standard" version, which has a similar database...
Dennis, Thanks. I'll review it before starting in on the Temma. I've used both Skytools, The Sky and the Telescope Tracer successfully before. The only new...
The magnitudes in ST2 are almost always higher, somtimes 1 magnitude or even more, then the values I find elsewhere. What is the reason for that difference?...
... My guess is that you are referring to the parts of the program that report extinction-corrected magnitudes (what you actually observe). All standard...
Hi, ... Short answer: no. Although knowing the class gives you a good idea of its orbit, which tells you if it is distant, earth-crossing, in the main belt,...
Hi Greg, I mean the magnitudes as shown in the observing lists. Some time ago I was writing an article about predicting the visibility of galaxies and almost...
Hi Jan, I don't know why some of the magnitudes don't match other programs in some cases. All I can say is that I put a great deal of effort into obtaining...
Hi! I have it problem. Rise and set (moon, sun and planets)ST was showing 4-6 minutes earlier compared with other programs. In what there can be a problem? ...
Hi Roman, ... I doubt there's a problem. The simple methods to determine rise/set time do not take into account the effect of the altitude of the observer or...
After all this time I still get confused about the directions on the printed charts. Today I printed finder and eyepiece charts for two objects, M20 and...

Haven't used ST2 in a long while. I just updated to the latest version yesterday and am trying to download images. Always get the message "unable to download...
Are you referring to DSS image downloads? I've always had the default SkyView(US) downloads fail - they never worked for me. However, switching to STSci(US)...
great thanks. is there anyway to change the DSS Source default to STSci? Neil ... From: John Winfield <winfij@...> To: skytools@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Hi John, ... I can't think of a reason one would always fail while the others worked. Be sure to use the latest version because they change their server format...
Hi Greg, I am using the latest version of ST2, but I seem to remember this always failing with earlier versions as well - I kept meaning to mention it, but...
Dear Greg, I have ST2 installed on my C drive. My hard disk is partitioned into a C and D drive. I'm out of room on C and want to know if there's an (easy?)...
