Update to Version 4.x.11.11 - theskyhound - 2024-09-28
Hello Everyone,
An update has been released with various bug fixes and a new Visual 4.1 feature, available to anyone with SkyTools Visual 4.1.
See the update web page for more information in the fixes:
https://skyhound.com/stupdate4.html
Progress continues on the upcoming EAA features for Visual 4.1. I will be previewing it at the El Dorado Star Party on October 31.
We have improved the SkyTools model calculations of brightness, visibility and SNR for comet Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) by including the surge due to forward scattering, which will improve its predictions in October.
The visual difficulty label "Apparent" has been replaced with "Perceptible" which we feel will be less confusing.
For Visual 4.1 users, a new Transparency selection replaced the weather settings. See this video for more information:

I really like the new transparency and seeing parameters. I thought it was especially cleaver to utilize the exact colors from Clear Skies.
Now, I'd like to suggest one change based on this. Rather than having a separate set of seeing and transparency presets in the log, can the transparency and seeing simply be brought forward from the settings on the main page when log entry is created?
Thanks for listening,
Jeff

It will lbe both, inheriting the settings on the tool that the log was created from, but you could change it if you want to.
I'm redoing the logs after the EAA stuff is finished so this will be dealt with then. Thanks for your suggestion!
