AI Thread Summary
SkyX software, developed by Bisque for their high-end telescope mounts, features a Profile function that saves data related to equipment like cameras and focusers. Users have found the documentation on this feature lacking, prompting inquiries for assistance within the forum. The discussion highlights the assumption that SkyX is primarily designed for Bisque hardware, specifically the Paramount ME mount. Participants recommend Cloudy Nights as a valuable resource for further inquiries about astronomy and related equipment. Engaging with that community may yield better support for users seeking help with SkyX.

I'm taking a shot that this forum might know about the software in the title, SkyX. My question is about a feature called Profile. I need some help using it.

Bisque is a very high end telescope mount manufacturer. I assume their software is equally high end. It's probably unsuited for other than bisque hardware.
 
Yes, I have have their Paramount ME mount, German equatorial.. They provide The Sky X software for a hefty price, which allows one to control the ME. TSX has a feature called Profile, which save data about items like a camera and focuser. The documentation on Profile how to use it, but it's pretty feeble. So if anyone here uses SkyX, I would be interested in their experience with it. Maybe there's a better forum for my question?

Good idea. I joined them. They have a lot of topics that involve the Bisque. I posted in a proper forum.

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
