What Settings In A Settings File Are Saved And Synced Via LiveSky.com? (Answer: Read On!)

I have signed up for Live Sky and I wanted to be able to make changes to Starry Night Pro Plus and have them save to the cloud so I can use another computer.  

Here is an example that does not see to work.

I changed the option to hide daylight then I told it to save it to Live Sky.  It asks for a name and I called it Conrad's Settings

I then come back in and log into Live Sky but how do I tell it to load my settings that I saved on Live Sky back into Starry Night?  I would rather use Live Sky rather than having to save a Local SNF file on my local PC.

I can see other things on Live Sky like my equipment and FOV indicators but can get my SNF settings to load.

    Keiron,

    So I went  out to a star party this past weekend and I created a new observation list on Sky Safari Pro on my Ipad  for the Virgo Cluster.  Is this information populated to live.sky?

    Hi Conrad, 

    Yes, observing lists are saved and synced via LiveSky.  You can see everything that is saved and synced here:

    • Settings Files*
    • Observations
    • Observing Lists
    • Observing Sessions
    • Equipment
    • Observing Sites
    • Field-Of-View Indicators

    https://www.skysafariastronomy.com/livesky-data-management-and-cloud-sync-service.html

    * Note, my initial reply to your post was about what settings in a settings file are saved and synced.

    Thanks!

    Keiron,

    Looks good it had everything.  I noticed it also keeps old stuff from my pervious devices so I deleted them.

    Thanks.
