I'm experiencing problems with animation and auto sky color. I certainly haven't tried every date possible ;-) but I ran an animation for today and all was...
Does the Moon rise over the horizon eight to twelve minutes after sunset on the day in question? If a bright moon is in the sky, the automatic sky color will...
This tool is so powerful, I just ran off the road... Captivated by the galaxy cluster in the area of PGC 44628, I started connecting to various sites and...
Jeff! Thank you for such an accurate and *fast* response! Indeed the moon is brightening the sky ( Duh!). Now, I'm sure I saw a "ghost" moon just up above the...
Another question... I have Virtual Moon and did invoke it from Sky Charts to see what happened. Can anyone direct me to some detailed "instructions" for the...
O.K., I've downloaded almost all the catalogs and now I'm experimenting with how to use them separately and together. I could use some more info than the help...
Will, There are a couple ESO skycat options, did you download star catalog data or one of the ESO skycat DSS image files? Image files have to be turned off ...

Al, NGC and SAC are "basic" catalogs with only brighter objects (by today's standards). The deeper nebula catalogs will contain these as subsets, so if you...
John, Thanks! If I read you right: Since I downloaded and installed the cdcneb.exe + cdcpgc.exe and the basic package (cdcbase.exe), which has the two brighter...
I just found this site: http://www.astrogeek.org/software/cdc/catalogs.html Even more catalogs with even more mysteries about things like, "Does this catalog...
That's at least approximately correct, but I'm as confused as you are on the details. Note that you can choose field size limits so you can use the smaller ...
I'm trying to locate the warped galaxy ESO 510-G13 (sometimes the 'G' is left off). I couldn't find the ESO catalogue listed anywhere in the Ciel pages or...

Patrick, I had a similar error. "Exception EOSError in module PLANETRENDERER.DLL AT 0000B4BA" I used options.exe - option 6 was set to "yes" - I turned it off...
What is the latest - offical version of Cartes Du Ciel charting software? I know there is a beta version of a replacement - but what is the lastest officialy...
Thanks, again, John. I noticed that phenomenon with names. What I do is carefully center the bright object then go in on it but even with that I sometimes get...
I want to comment on how my questions have been handled on this list--fast and clear! Here's some more: 1 - I realize that the Automatic Sky Color comes in...

I am a new user. I was wondering if any one knows how to hide or remove star names/designations or other labels from the charts; Basically, I want to compare...
This is easy, just go to preferences>labels and uncheck the word "display". You can also get to this with the label icon, third from the bottom on the left...
