Default RTMC report

Rod,

I am looking for a program that will allow me to customize the visible sky
for my location. Specifically, I would like to enter the measurements for
my specific obstructions from my driveway viewing location (trees, houses,
small flying rodents) and have that selectable when I am using the program.
This will help me determine when I will be able to view items of interest.
Can TheSky 6 do that for me? If not TheSky, some other program?


The free Cartes du Ciel can do this, but you'll need to create a
horizon file with the obstruction altitude data in it. Not too
difficult, but possibly easier if you take a panoramic photo and work
from that (which is probably true of any program that offers
customizable horizons, including SkyTools and others).
