SkySafari - list of equipment


globular

Recommended Posts

I log all my visual observations in SkySafari and I like to include all the equipment I used for each observation - scope, diagonal, eyepiece, barlow, filter.

SkySafari includes equipment placeholders for scope, eyepiece and barlow - but not diagonal and filter.

I've got around the missing diagonal functionality by creating all combinations of scope + diagonal (that I use) in the scope section.
So I select "scope+diagonal" in one go.

I've got around the missing filter functionality by adding my filters as barlows with magnification 1x.
So I select the "filter" used by adding the appropriately named barlow.

Does anyone know if there is a 'proper' or 'better' way to do this?

Or maybe there is a better observation logging tool that doesn't have these limitations?

The feature request for a filter setting in the observation has already been logged here (item 3):

The response from SC is "We hope to add it eventually". 🙄

They say some people have been creating bogus x1 barlows, naming them after their filters, and selecting those instead.
