The Sky (software)

Is there a way to make "The Sky" move with time, automatically? I know how
to make it move an hour or a day, but can it move real time?

Thanks

Yes.

Data - Options - Screen Update Frequency

Anything less than 10-15 seconds is painful though.

Also, set it to use the computer clock.

Data - Site Information - Date and Time tab - Use Computer Clock check
box.

I have no "Option" option under Data. Could this be because I am using the
version that came with my telescope? I do have it set to use computer time
and it opens with the sky in the right position, but nothing changes after
it has been open for awhile. Under data, my choices are Site info, Planets,
and File Locations.

Check under "Site Info."

I still don't find the "Update Frequency" setting, but, the image is now
real time and updating by itself. I swear it wasn't before, but alas, I am
getting old and maybe I didn't give it long enough to be able to discern the
movement. Thanks to all who responded.
