SkyTools Guided Tour

Log Book

The SkyTools log book is simple and easy to use.  Customizable presets can be created to your taste which make entering viewing conditions fast and simple.  Defaults can be set so you don't have to enter the same information over and over.  The logs are indexed by object type, night, instrument, observer, location, and constellation, and can be filtered using any combination of these indices.

Comments can be added to each index.  Comments for a particular night are particularly useful.  Miscellaneous logs can be entered for non-object oriented observations such a meteor showers or atmospheric phenomena.

Logs can be backed up or printed for safe keeping, exported from your laptop to desktop computer (or vice versa), and copied to the windows clipboard for pasting into word processors or text editors.  Need to send in your logs for a Messier or Herschel certificate?  Logs can be printed for any observing list, making the process a snap.
