Skyhound Forums

Hello All,

Christina LeGrand here.     Long-time user of Sky Tools 3.   I am just starting to use Sky Tools 4.   I cannot seem to find the filter for excluding objects from an observing list if they are below the horizon.   I must be overlooking it somehow.   Can anyone help me find this filter?    Thank you in advance.

I just found this Forum this evening and am very happy to be a new member.    I really love Sky Tools and rely on it a lot.

Thank you,
Christina LeGrand

Hello Christina,

The filters in SkyTools 4 are a lot smarter. The quality filter includes the effects of altitude in it automatically, including when the object is below the horizon or below the obstructed horizon, so a horizon filter is not necessary.

Click the Help menu and select the Help Contents. I suggest reading the Changes in SkyTools 4 for SkyTools 3 users, or New in SkyTools 4 (can't recall exactly what its called). It will explain how the new, much more powerful, filters work.

Also follow the links to our Youtube site for video tutorials.

Thank you, Greg!    I will read up on this.    Thanks again!  Christina LeGrand
