Observing List for "Above Horizon" Only - Christina LeGrand - 2022-05-31
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.
