Default How do you log your observations? (very long)

I use the sketchbook to draw objects even now, but I no longer take notes with
pencil and pen. I take them using a Sony Pressman, a mini-cassette recorder. I
then transcribe my notes into Deepsky 2003's logbook on the computer. That
solves all my logging requirements/organizing requirements. I like SkyTools 2's
logbook very much, too, but a plus for Deepsky is that you can scan-in your
drawings and append them to your logbook "pages."


Hey Rod -- you can do that in SkyTools 2 too. I don't know where people
got the idea you can't. The only difference is that the scans are
"attached" directly to the object rather than through the log book.
Personally, I think that makes more sense. Either way it amounts to the
same thing.
