Kenneth,

OW (desktop) doesn't distinguish between EQ and Alt/Az
mounts, so the warning is only based on your settings. If you
don't want to see it RED, change the max altitude to 90.

Re: Submitting a station after the event / report generation
Hi Tim
>>To follow up on this, the xml provides the asteroid number
and name (and orbit).? Does your tool calculate the mid time for the
user which?is also needed in the file upload to SODIS.
Yes, exactly. This is the same as other tools such as Occult would
also do, when the XML file is imported there.
I just created a testfile from OWC and imported that into Occult
(Asteroid predictions > List & Display > Open...):
>>I can see this idea could be elaborated to provide non
dvti-cam users a means to fill the OW template, but would require

Occult XML).? ?Not too difficult for a programmer i would suggest,
but seem to be over-kill for the purpose.??
You can also use the DVTI Cam Tool for this purpose, if you don't
have such a camera. The tool is freely available. Just open it, go
to the calendar, import an XML file and download the report (as if
you have already observed the event). A lot of user specific fields
are then missing, but basically the report is filled in with all the
event data and can be uploaded into SODIS. You then need just to
update all the other fields on the SODIS screen manually. Here how
that looks with my testfile for an event of this evening:
which will create the prefilled SODIS report...
Eventually you can also define first you personal settings under
"Edit" so, that this will also be included in the report
automatically. You just need to add the relevant entries than under
"More" from the pulldown menu before creating the final report:
 ? 
I think that all should work, even if you don't have a DVTI Cam. But
I have not fully tested that until the end ;-)
>>Im looking forward to our "GB" dvti-cam user's impressions.?
These will be shared on the UK group forum i expect.
Yes, me too ;-)

It would be nicer if OWC could copy sites to OWD after the
event.? This doent seem to happen.

Re: Submitting a station after the event / report generation
Hi Tim
In the case when using a DVTI Cam, there is an option to import
events also manually or based on an XML file. The XML file can
easily be created on the OWC page by copy/pasting the relevant
section into a textfile and then upload this file into the DVTI
Tool. This section usually appears on the event screen, further down
after the "Error Ellipses":
Import of the XML file into the DVTI Tool:
I used this procedure already a couple of times for special events
or when for instance my location was too far away from the path and
filtered out by OW.
However I think you don't use a DVTI Cam, right?
Regards,
Stefan

Re: Colored Data in OW Desktop
Thanks Oliver. I'll look there. Wasn't making much sense except possibly the mag limit which is 13. Star altitude 80°?? I don't recall setting OW up for my Dob. My Nexstar clears the mount with my camera attached.

Hi Bj?rn,
Ask Andreas Schweitzer to contact me in regards to this. It should be possible DVTI to get the data directly from OWC. You'll need enter your user name and password for your account when OWC asks for it or you could delegate DVTI to remember your password.

Hi Hristo,
I also had already this need:
The DVTI from Andreas Schweitzer allows to import the data from OccultWatcher, but not from OWC.
When after an event the database is purged because OW got stuck it is after the event no more possible to import those data for purpose of official observation report!
best regards, Bj?rn.

I think I've discovered the issue. the passwords for planning and
OWC were different. I went back and did a password reset and now
see the drop-down on a past event (31762) 1999 JB104 occults UCAC4
573-030396 on 2024-Dec-23 at 09:04 UT
And can now show clouded out. A bonus is that now all my planned
stations are populated.
Thanks

Goodmorning,
I'm Luca and I'm an astronomy student at Padua University. I've been using this software for an academic study since last April. IN the last month it has started to give me a synchronization error when I run the software. When I switch my windows computer on the software is already running in background and when I open it it takes few minutes for completing the synchronization and then it fail giving the error in the bottom left corner of the screen. I've tried to uninstall and install again the software but it still fail the synchronization. I've also tried to check in the use's manual and they suggest to synchronize manually, but it still failing. The last date I can predict it is around 17/12/2024. I really need this software (or another that let me predict asteroidal and cometary occultations) for an academic research program.?
Thanks to all of you for your kind help.
?
Best regards

Luca
