[sac-forum] Re: SAC Double star database and Sky Commander

Sorry Steve,
   
  I use Starry night SW not Sky Cmdr SW.  Hopefully the others can assist Jim.
  Take care,
  Steve Palmer

      Steve,
   
  I'm not sure who to direct this question to so please forward it to the 
appropriate party.
   
  I just received a new Starmaster 14.5 loaded with Sky Commander/Sky Tracker 
go-to.  My first night out I was very disappointed in the data base for 
Doubles.  Sky Commander claims their data base has the 600 best double stars 
provided by Saguaro Astronomy Club.
   
  Several doubles I attempted to pull up were 36 Andromedae, 78 Pegasi, 32 
Orionis, Beta Monocerotis, and Theta Cancri.  None of these were in the Sky 
Commander data base but are listed on your Version 3.3 data list (except 32 
Orionis).     
  Can you folks send me a copy of specifically what you provided to Sky 
Commander?  There seems to be a lot missing in Sky Commander's Rev 4.0 data 
base.  Thank you.
   
  Sincerely,
  Jim DellaPenna
  RAleigh, NC
