I was just wondering if there is a way to import an observation list from another program into Prism. I have attempted it but seem to have the wrong file format.
In particular I would like to be able to create a list on https://dso-browser.com/ and import it into Prism. I can save the list as an Excel file as a *.csv and import it into SGP or ATP ( neither of which I actually own) but I can't seem to be able to do it in Prism. I know I can't have everything but it doesn't hurt to ask.

You're correct, it is a matter of having the right format. How big is this list?

Honestly there would only be a probable list of 4 or 5 objects on a given night but I do like the way the website presents the objects and peak viewing times for any object on a given night in addition to weather / viewing data for any given night. Thanks.

Create a list at https://dso-browser.com/ and import it into Prism.
Website admin without information is the correct file field structure.
How do I import the csv file?
- help does not contain information (image attached)
- Import menu is a limited data source. (picture attached)
best regards

I corresponded with the dev of DSO-Browser and had a great conversation, I have added this feature request to the list.
