The Emerald Sequoia software developers are calling it quits. Emerald Blog - Notes from the developers at Emerald Sequoia LLC https://emeraldsequoia.com/esblog/2022/12/21/emerald-sequoias-future/comment -page-1/#_comments I remember finding the Time App in the Apple store. At the time is was one of a kind. I have used it regularly over the years to synchronize the time of customer Electronic Carillon systems during maintenance calls. Many of the legacy systems I service do not have GPS, but instead use the 60Hz AC line as a reference, which in itself (depending on the power company) can turn into a major headache. I understand the developer's point of view in dealing with changes and the competition. Don Resor

It's very disappointing that some Apple developer can't take it under their wing. I'd be happy to pay - what - $10 annually just for the Observatory app. Cheers, David -- SatSignal Software - Quality software for you Web: https://www.satsignal.eu Email: davidtaylor@writeme.com Twitter: @gm8arv

I had not seen that before. Those are really nice faces. I normally just lurk but I wanted to point out iEphemeris. It is my favorite time/astronomy app. Cheers, Colin On Thu, Oct 26, 2023 at 6:45 PM David Taylor via time-nuts < time-nuts@lists.febo.com> wrote: > On 24/10/2023 09:30, D.

I looked at iEphemeris and it doesn't offer the same display mix which "Emerald Observatory for iPad" does. I think being an iPad program rather then iPhone makes a difference. It doesn't get a good rating or reviews! Cheers, David -- SatSignal Software - Quality software for you Web: https://www.satsignal.eu Email: davidtaylor@writeme.com Twitter: @gm8arv
