Measuring Double Stars
Right click and select "Save Target As" to save the file to your

Canopus now features a whole new set of features designed
just for double star observers. You can now store a wealth of data about each double
measurement and generate complete reports. This hint is now a PDF (Acrobat Reader 5.0 or
greater required) of the pages from the Canopus manual that explains the new features and
an almost complete step-by-step guide on how to measure and generate reports of double
stars. |
