Using Deep-Sky Planner 8 with TheSky64
This article describes some recommendations for using Deep-Sky Planner 8 with TheSky64.
- TheSky64 Professional Edition for Windows is required for the Show Chart interoperation feature to work in Deep-Sky Planner 8. At the time of this writing (Autumn 2021), TheSky64 Serious Astronomer Edition for Windows does not contain the interface software that Deep-Sky Planner 8 needs for the Show Chart feature.
- You must run TheSky64 Pro at least once for Deep-Sky Planner to find the interface that it requires. If you try to use Show Chart in Deep-Sky Planner 8 and receive an error message 'TheSkyXAdaptor not found', try running TheSky64 once and try Show Chart again. If the error persists, run TheSky64 and Deep-Sky Planner 8 as Administrator.
