#DIFFERENT EYEPIECES IN STARRY NIGHT PRO FULL#
On Android, DSO Planner and the lightweight Mobile Observatory apps work the same way (Mobile Observatory isn't a full fledged planning tool with telescope control and the like, but what it does, it does well. I know that DeepSky Planner works the same way. On Windows, I use SkyTools and (and AstroPlanner at one time). You are asking it to do something it was not designed to doĪll of the astronomy apps that I've used over the list 15 years (with the exception of Starry Night, which was never designed as a planning and observation application), allow you use to use an existing list as a starting point. Yes, the planner is an observing list generator. I will keep your comments in mind when we revisit it. We are not planning on any big revamp of the Planning for now. If you have multiple observations of an object, you can see them all using the More button in the Object Info (Show Observations). In other words you can only have one observation of an object in an observing list. However, you can't attach it to an observing list if that object in the list already has an observation. You can always create an observation of an object from the Object Info by using the More button. Our method of sorting is very common in other apps.Ĥ. This means if you first sort on altitude and then sort on object type, the objects of a particular type will still be sorted by altitude in that type group. Are you talking about sorting of an observing list? I believe the sorts are "stable". It is a "plan" in the sense that it is a list of things you can observe that night.ģ. "If you have existing lists, you cannot use these for a nightly plan - w.t.f.!" I'm not sure what you mean by this. You are asking it to do something it was not designed to do.Ģ. I'm starting the AL Binocular Observing Program, and there are about 7 or 8 lists for that alone! So it would be great if lists can be grouped.ġ. Extra - You can end up with many observing lists.
It should be possible to order an observing list or planned list in any direction (ascending or descending), and any order (e.g. However, it should be identified somehow as a list based on applied filters, which can be viewed and modified.ģ.
In fact, the generated list should be created in this window. It should still be possible to generate a list based on criteria (except for date and time), that will appear in the observation lists window. However, from a planning perspective, another view is required, which is a static list of all of the objects that will be viewed in the plan.Ģ. I mentioned that in real time, the objects in the list should be updated. One should be able to review and modify the applied filters on a list as needed. In essence, the planning window is a "projection" of the observing list window with specific planning lists that have applied filters. From this list, the other functions found in observation lists window should be available. In real time, the list should be updated to display objects meeting the filter criteria and updated to remove objects no longer meeting the filter criteria. Such objects can never be seen (except during a total eclipse of the sun). In the planning list window objects that rise after dawn, transit in the middle of the day, and set long before dusk do not need to be displayed. This planning list(s) should be shown in a separate "Planning Lists" window or similar. The planning function should use an existing list and apply filters to the list. How I would like to see the planning/filtering logic work:ġ. After you create an observation, you only get an option to edit the observation. It's not clear how you create additional observations for the same object. List ordering direction is inflexible - you can only sort in ascending order, and you cannot sort on multiple fields.Ĥ. If you have existing lists, you cannot use these for a nightly plan - w.t.f.!ģ.
However, once turned into a list, there is no way to know what filters were chosen, and you've screwed if want to change one teeny-weeny parameter - you have to start over from scratch!!!Ģ. It appears that the Planner is nothing more than a observation list generator, because in the end, you end up with a list. The original post has been modified herein.ġ. Bill requested that I redirect my posted here. I posted the following on Cloudy Nights to check if other users experience the same frustrations with planning and filtering as I do.
