Configuring Object Tips

 

TheSky allows you to specify what information appears in Object Tips. Here is how.

 

Each time an Object Tip appears, TheSky uses the information in the text file named Tooltip Format.txt to format the contents of the tip.

 

Sample format of this text file:

 

""|Object name|

"Mag"|Magnitude|

"HA"|Hour angle|

Air mass|Air mass|

RA rate (arcsecs/sec)|RA rate (arcsecs/sec)|
