ACP Horizon Editor - New Version Released (V1.15)
Hi all,
i am happy to announce my latest Version of
ACP Horizon Editor.
Because ACP changed the ActiveX- Interfaces in Version 6.0 the code has to be revised. I also revised the Helpfile.
ACP Horizon Editor is a 32-bit Application but should run also on a 64-bit System.
Actually it has been tested with Windows 7 64-bit and 32-bit
It also works on Machines with Win XP SP2 and Win XP SP3.
Looking at the support-notes from Microsoft, some ActiveX-Components are not shipped with their OS anymore so i provide the MSFLXGRD.OCX.
See the helpfile for information how to install a missing ActiveX-Component on your system.
To install just unzip the files into one folder and run the ACPHorizonEditor_V115.exe.
Last but not least a small hint: I added an option to make a donation, please make use of it :D
Use at your own risk and....have fun!
feedback is welcome..
Regards,
Jörg
Weather Monitor elements of cost and complexity
Detecting cloud temperature is one of the best indicators of deteriorating conditions. To gain useful data, you need a thermopile, not an IR sensor. These devices are quite expensive and require considerable software expertise to interface. To design a reliable product requires about 1000 hours of software R&D and 300 hours of hardware design. By the time all the parts are identified and located, boards are manufactured, populated and assembled, it gets to be expensive.
Our product is at the lowest price that will work. It integrates well with ACP, ACP web and other software, but DIY is always alluring. It depends on what satisfies your interest in astronomy. :)

Always on top - horizon editor
Hello Jörg,
your horizon tool is fantastic, but it has one very troublesome feature; it's always on top of windows and thus always needs to be moved to work with other apps. Can this feature be switched off?
I already mentioned this, but another member accidentally replied on this thread about a completely unrelated topic.
Cheers
theSkyX format is incorrect
I used the editor to generate the ACP horizon editor, and I think it worked OK. However, when I generated the horizon for theSkyX, it is not in the correct format. I suspect it is in theSky6 format? It seems to be a binary file. TheySkyX uses a text file, similar to the text file produced by this editor (when saving to a text file, rather than theSkyX).
I was able to convert the text file format to theSkyX by hand, so everything is OK. However, that part should be addressed:)
