Column sorting disabled

Mark,

I hope you understand now that there should be no need to sort by RA because this is already built into the SkyTools algorithm. You assumed doing it by hand was better, but there is more than one thing to consider. The SkyTools algorithm does a smart job of looking at all of the factors (more that one column if you will) and then guiding you to the next best target. Setting the seeing isn't for you... its so the software can best assist you in observing your pairs at the time of night when they are best observed. Its that part you have turned off. Consider: people say "I always observe when an object is high in the sky." Fine. But how high is high enough? Lets say you finish a pair and the next one is still a bit low. The SkyTools algorithm can tell you if that pair can be observed now, or if you should wait until it gets higher. I think its fair to say that this is the whole point of using SkyTools. I mean, there are dozens of software products that can just tell you where the pair is (or whatever). I think you should consider letting SkyTools tell you to go get another pair while that first one gets higher.
