While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

Hi Mike
Make your normal scope setup (2star etc.)
Then start Sky and establish Link with scope.
If sky is not on, suspend link from telescope control.
Then find the object you are looking at, and in The Sky on your computer
and click on it.
When the object information box opens, click on telescope tab.
then click on the sync button.
Then when you go back and reestablish your telescope Link, sky will sync
on object you clicked on.

Remember to suspend the scope link before you Sync, then reestablish the
link.

Good Luck
Keith Johnson
