Tips, Notes & other Stuff
This page is a work in
progress, I will be updating this section as often as I can.
If you have any info or links to add, please
send them to me :)
General Notes:
 |
My program doesn't calculate the date and times of each viewing. Instead, it
obtains the viewing data from various webpages at NASA's website. You can see
the actual webpage that my program uses in the upper window of my program. The
NASA webpages list the viewing times over a period of time. The ending date of
that range is used to setup the reminder Task in Outlook to re-run my app.
Usually, NASA will update the webpages before or on the ending date. But
sometimes they may be late by a day. So, if you display the webpage for your
city and it has not been updated yet, just try again later that day, or at worse
case, try again the next day.

The default advanced notice is
now set to 6
minutes so you can do a default 5 minute snooze in outlook and still be alerted again 1 minute before a viewing

I assigned the category
"Miscellaneous" to the generated reminders because the Pocket PC's Pocket Outlook won't display appointments without a category assigned to it
