How Do We Share An Observing List Using Starry Night 8? (Answer: Use LiveSky.com To Share Lists)

Remind me... is there a way to share an observing list with other at LiveSky or somehow through the software?

Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hi Doug, 

    Please use LiveSky.com to share lists.

    Thanks!

    Keiron, I'm sorry I'm a bit slow sometimes. If I open the list I'd like to share and click, for example, the "Share" button (the obvious choice, right?), the only options I can find are "Email, Facebook, Tweet, and Direct Link." Am I somehow supposed to use one of those? Because.. if so, it wasn't entirely obvious to me. I'm so sorry. I don't want to be a bother. But I can't find a single other likely culprit to try. Is there a way to make it available in the "From List" button on the Observation List box in Starry Night Pro? Or are those lists somehow exclusive?

    From Starry Night it is not possible to share the list using the UI.

    Why are the options "Email, Facebook, Tweet, and Direct Link" not sufficient for sharing an observing list?

    Hi Keiron. For some reason, I had it in my head that we could share our templates via the list that's available for downloading from the Observation List box, when I click the "From List" button. Those are like... templates, you know? And in that list of templates, there's no Caldwell Catalog. In view of its popularity, I just wanted to contribute something. But from your response, I'm guessing that, what you're saying is, we can't contribute to those templates -- even if something is missing, like the Caldwell Catalogue.

    If you want to submit a list to be included in the online repository please send it to me ksmith@simcur.com

    I will ask if it can be included.
