Re: OccultWatcher 5.1 & OWC - Update 3
Hi Bjorn,
Is it possible that you are using an older version of Windows that does not support TLS 1.2?
You will need to have a vesrions of Windows that supports the latest SSL encryption algoritm known as TLS 1.2.
Windows 10 running with latest updates should do that.

Hi all,
Some people a reporting an
issue where OW Desktop would not show all submitted stations
for an event. To be able to investigate this problem further I
realsed a new version of OW that has some extra logging.
If you encounter this problem
please obtain a DebugView log ()
when you click on the event to get the number of stations.
Then send me an email with a screeshow showing the issue and

Hi All,
After the update to 5.1 an issue was
discovered that was present previsously but was not
reported before. The issue is that after a database
purge (which happened automatically with the 5.1
update), the following feeds would not get any
events that were last updated more than 1 month ago:
Observation Campaigns (Global)
Community Tags (Global)
Planned Observations
(Global)
I have already fixed the
issue on the server and released a new version
of OW Desktop 5.1.0.2
Please update and run a
Synchronisation as the 3 feeds above will be
purged after the update.
If you spot any further
issues please report them either with me
directly or to the
group.

Hi All,
The yesterday's release has
instroduced one bug which was reported a
few times - this is the inabbility to
get old events in OW Desktop after the
update. This presents a problem for
people trying to report their
observations.
I have now made it possible
to report observations via OWC. For
passed event click on the telescoep icon
and choose 'Report observation' then
fill in the form below and submit.
As old events will not be
displayed in OW Desktop for people to
report their observations you will need
to find the event manually on OWC.
If you spot any blocking
issues please raise them immediately
either with me directly or to the
group.

Hi All,
I have now
released OW Desktop v5.1. In
order to be able to use
GoogleMaps you need to
upgrade. The old maps will
not longer work and will not
be supported.
All feeds will
now fetch from OWC and
support for old style feeds
will also be discontinued.
This is a big step towards
OWC and full web version of
managing your stations.
The event lines
on OWC are not as good as
they were in OW, but they
are still accurate. Please
bare with me while I work on
improving this.

Hi VS,
When reporting issues please always include links to OWC events or screenshots.

Thanks for sorting the lists, it is very useful (to me) and hopefully to others especially since I have to also maintain Places in google earth.

Re: Error with Stations number in OW v.5.1.0.2
Hi Chris,
Tony George reported a similar issue with a past event but I don't see how this had happened and could not reproduce it myself (because event is past). In your case you are saying that the first event has 4 stations and the second had one.
Well the first event indeed has 4 stations including your own:
and this is how many I see in OW:
The second event only has one station - yours:
and again this is how many I see in OW Desktop:
Can you confirm that you do not see the above or what is wrong with it and please include screenshots.
Hristo.

GoogleMaps - End of life reached for OW Desktop
Hi All,
As anticipated and announced by Google more than a year ago the support for GoogleMaps for Windows Forms (.NET 4) applications has now ended. As a result GoogleMaps will not longer work in Occult Watcher Desktop.
I will try to release very soon an update to OW Desktop that will redirect all station announcement on OWC.
There is currently one known issue on OWC where your own stations will be shown with a random offset of 1km, so will be all other stations. I will try to fix this soon for own stations and show them with the exact submitted location.
The will be more work required but most of it is quality of life improvements. All essential and important functionality should be working.
One other important update is that IOTA Occultations events will be also coming from OWC.
Steve, because of this it is important that going forward you keep the IOTA tagged events on OWC up to date.
Hristo.
