please sync local (custom) horizon file across devices

I have created a custom horizon file in SkySafari 6 by 

1) Carefully measuring alt and az of treetops and spaces between trees and houses using my phone, then

2) Writing my own custom program to interpolate these data to create a 2048x1024 RGBA PNG file, and finally

3) Importing the 2048x1024 RGBA PNG image into SkySafari 6.

Unfortunately this only works on a single machine. To get the horizon into my phone and iPad, the Help file suggests a method using iTunes which is no longer possible.

PLEASE allow these custom horizon files to be synced to all licensed SkySafari instances on all devices.

I'd like to make several more for my dark sites, but this is quite a bit of work.

    It is certainly possible to use iTunes File Sharing to add custom horizons to your iOS devices.  I do this sort of thing all the time.  You might do a web search to make sure you are trying to do it correctly as it changed slightly a couple of years ago.

    But I do understand your frustration and we can look into syncing the panoramas
