SkyTools 3 Arrives at Chaos Manor South
      #2911400 - 02/06/09 10:47 AM

And so it has. Yeah, I know I told a lotta folks Greg would pry SkyTools 2 outa my cold dead hands , but the Pro edition of "3" is is now up and runnin'at the old manse. While I haven't been able to test it under the stars yet, I'm impressed already. Lotsa nice, new cool stuff, but--and this is very important to your computer-phobic ol' Uncle--it looks almost the same as the good ol' ST2 I've been usin' these many years. I hope to get it out with the NS11 in the next week or two, and will let y'all know how I like the new one.

We've had anything BUT clear skies here, I'm afraid--though for once that is coninciding with a fat Moon. I hope to get out to the club dark site weekend after next (next weekend will be spent with Miss Dorothy natch) with SkyTools 3 and the NexStar 11. That will give me some time to get the feel of it, too. Like I said, looks comfortinglythe same, mostly, but with _lots_ o' new goodies, too. I haven't even scratched the surface yet.

When done, I hope to place a review with one o' the magazines, as well as do a quick overview via my blog...

I didn't think I would, but I just ordered it. My only use is AP target searching.

It was reviewed in AP Insight online magazine
