Observation Tools 125
Click the Add button in the “Observing
Lists” layer to open a new window which
lets you add objects to an observing list.
By default, Starry Night gives your
observing list a generic name but you can
enter a custom “Observing List Name” in
the text box at the top of the dialog
window.
Before adding objects to your observing
list, decide on whether you wish to create
an observing list for a specifc night or a
list of objects that are visible from your
location but not tied to a particular date.
Date specific observing list: To create a list
of objects for a specific night choose On
specific date... from the “Visible On”
dropbox. This will allow you to enter the
date you plan to observe. The “Visible
Between” and “Minimum Altitude for
Visibility” dropboxes will become active,
allowing you to search only for those
objects that are visible during a particular
time window and above a specific height
above the horizon.
Date independent observing list: Choose
No Date Preference from the “Visible
On” dropbox to create a date independent
observing list.
Adding a specific object to a list: If you
are interested in viewing a specific object,
type in the object’s name (or the first few
letters in the name) in the “Target Name”
text box, then press the Find button. Starry
Night will display a list of objects that
match this name. For each object, some
additional information is listed, such as the
object’s rise, set and transit times.
To add an object to your list, just
click on the object to highlight it
and then press the “>” arrow
button. The object will be added
to your current observing list.
Highlighting an object in your
current list and pressing “<“ arrow button
removes the object.
An object can also be added to your
current observing list by right-clicking
(Ctrl-click on the Mac) on its name and
choosing Add to Observing List from the
contextual menu. To add all the objects
shown, choose Add All.
To remove an object from your current
observing list right-click (Ctrl-click on the
Mac) on its name and choose Remove
from Observing List from the contextual
