exported my observations using livesky into a .csv file.  the "Faintest star" and "sky quality" entries have numbers running out in endless decimal places. As I look at it, so do the Lat. and Long. columns.  I did not enter this.  Where did it come from?

  Can't seem to paste it.  I get "bad gateway 502" message and a blank screen.  Perhaps the file is too large.  It is the Herschel 400 list.  I attach a screenshot.  The Lat. Longitude, transparency, and dimmest star columns all have decimal points carried out to lengths beyond anything I would have put into it.

  This is caused by the slider in some of the older versions of SkySafari. I see this all the time on SQM entries.
