The trick in TS6 land was to use the proper catalog. Works fine for the sky at a particular time. |

You have only yourself to blame. You should have written the software you needed instead of asking your question here. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

Uncountable planetarium programs, including the obsolete TheSky6 and a number of free applications that can be downloaded in moments can do this. So, can you tell us of a free application that can produce a list of all stars brighter than Mag 4 with their alt/az? As a list Which is what the OP wanted |

Take a text based list of stars, use SORT to do its thing on the right columns, and the start(or end) of the resulting file contains the wanted stars. SORT [/R] [/+n] [/M kilobytes] [/L locale] [/REC recordbytes] [[drive1:][path1]filename1] [/T [drive2:][path2]] [/O [drive3:][path3]filename3] /+n Specifies the character number, n, to begin each comparison. /+3 indicates that each comparison should begin at the 3rd character in each line. Lines with fewer than n characters collate before other lines. By default comparisons start at the first character in each line. |

How do you know I can write software or even have the s/w tools to pull this off? Blame? Poorrrrr me. |

Now we just need Davoud to show that his 'number of free applications' doesn't simply mean 'zero free applications'. |

Not only should Dumvoud find and post such an application (which may very well exist) but perhaps Schlyter should now step up to the plate and write the software, then make it available. OTOH most any student who has studied trig and taken a programming course or two should be able to write the software. |
