Observing lists

[DaveV]

Hi Greg, I’ve had chance to use SkyTools and NINA together, it wasn’t too bad entering an object from the tour list into NINA for slewing, as long as I had a common name that I could enter, such as M 13, M 92 etc. Then it was easy to find the object in NINAs framing assistant and slew from there, sometimes the object was identified with its NGC number and had to find its M number and so forth. When using the framing assistant in NINA, there are a couple of buttons, one gets the coordinates from the current position of the telescope, the other from an object selected in the planetarium program which happens to be selected in NINA. There is a list of these that can be selected during setup, such as Stellarium, HNSky, CDC for example. Maybe SkyTools could be added to the list then the coordinates of an object in the tour could be sent directly to NINA. Or if it was possible to copy the coordinates from SkyTools and paste them into the boxes of the framing assistant. Just a thought. Dave.
