Exporting Data

After generating an ephemeris, you can export the data in several ways: save to a CSV file, copy records to the clipboard, or drag records directly to another application.

Exporting to CSV​

Export the generated records to a CSV file that includes the currently visible columns in their display order, with headers.

  1. Click the Export button.
  2. Choose a location and filename in the save dialog.

The clipboard receives tab-delimited text, suitable for pasting into spreadsheets.

Dragging Records to External Applications​

You can transfer records directly to another application by dragging them from the ephemeris table.

  1. Select one or more records in the ephemeris table.
  2. Drag the selected records to an external application window.

The target application receives the records as tab-delimited text with headers.

This is a convenient way to quickly transfer data to a spreadsheet or text editor without going through the clipboard.
