Well thanks for heads up Jeff. Although I really like the things
Astroplanner does the UI leaves a lot to be desired and I've been
considering switching to SkyTools. Sounds like I should stick with what
works and the program where I've already learned all the quirks. At least
the logging is very stable.
Michelle - Have you tried importing the text file into Excel? I do this
quite often to transfer observing list between the various astro programs
and it typically works very well.
