Hi - I have some holiday money that's been corroding a hole in my pocket, and since I now have a largely-free Win98 partition on my creaky laptop, I've been on...
Hi Glenn, I really recommend Guide 8 it is so important to me. I can't see a Guide 9 coming out anytime soon.. it's not that long ago the 8 came out. Anyway,...
... Bill ... Don't worry, Glenn. Bill warned us that Guide 8 was just around the corner for more than a year (;-) and he hasn't even mentioned G9 yet. Plus,...
... On rereading this, I think I may have came across a little callous. The Sky is a very nice product (not as good as Guide IMHO ;-), but it seems to have a ...
Hello Bill, I also want to wish you a Happy New Year and congratulations for your ASO award. I discovered a minor bug: When changing styles of the ecliptic...
Bill, I have downloaded and installed in GUIDE8 the little file that allows the use of data downloaded from USNO-B.1.0 I installed the USNO-B.1 data of a...
Hi folks, Andrea, thanks for mentioning this B1.0 problem. I had heard a comment from John Greaves that the NOFS system had altered the format a bit, but...
Hello, When I look at Saturn through my telescope and compare it to the display of Guide8, the rings are more closed in Guide than in reality. My location is...
Hi all First I would like to congratulate Bill for this latest award. Now for my question, I just down loaded the latest update for Guide 8. I saved it too...

Recently someone referred to the USNO B.1. I assume this is an improvement on the USNO A.2. Is there a website where I can learn more about this? Pat Madden ...
... The main difference IMO is source density (one billion objects down to V=21) and the inclusion of proper motions. Like A2, magnitudes are not to be...
Bill, I have done what you suggest, and now it's working, but with some strange result. Just to make a "real" example with an USNO B.1 star: opening the...
Ray, 'lunar.dll' gets copied over when Guide is first installed. Usually, when it's reported missing, it means that the update .ZIP was unpacked in the...
OK Bill, now it's working. But we have the usual problem, or even worst: now many star have the triple sign, i.e. as GSC, USNOA.2 and USNOB.1 Can we have the...
Thanks, Jeff! I was fortunate enough to get a set of USNO A.1 on CD ROMs. Are there any plans to make the USNO B.1 available on CD ROM or DVD? Currently I do...
... I don't know. It is unclear to me from the zone query tools whether B1 would be useful to me or not. In general, the more points for plate solutions the...
Andrea, you're right about the confusion you can get when you've got GSC-2.2, A2.0, and B1.0 all covering a given area. In a perfect world, the catalogues...
Hi Bill, 1. some time ago I asked you about using UT at Guide (with using time update with "F3") at a PC that's running at local time. For this purpose you...
Bill wrote: ************************** Pat, about distribution of B1.0: I made inquiry of David Monet (head honcho of B1.0) on this subject. He questioned...
Pat, I'm sure that David Monet will assign to Bill one USNO-B.1. So it will be our interest to ask him if he could make the same thing he did with GSC-ACT. ...
Thank you for your kind words, Andrea. I'll probably wait a year or two before I seriously consider burning so many CDs! Clear skies, Pat ... From: Andrea...
Hi Bill. Bring up Guide8 set to level 4 with the user data set 1.4-Ghz Northern Sky Catalog turned on and go to the star Alpheratz. The catalog display blanks...
Hi All I am new to astronomy but I agree with pat I am getting my own observatory to gather up here in North Dakota . I live out in the boonies also . I have ...

Hello Bill, I noticed something strange when I compared the image of Saturn I made on January 5th with the vieuw in Guide8. Either the planet disk is too big...
Hi folks, A belated reply about copying B1.0 and display of Saturn and 1.4-GHz sources: Andrea, in truth, I'd definitely be very low on the list for a copy...
Bill, but instead of burning a few sets of the 110 CD-ROMs needed for the USNO-B.1, couldn't you put it on 8-9 DVDs? This could make spreading more easy,...

I vote for DVDs. And, I think some will be happy if they could have the opportunity to have only 2 or 3 DVDs, covering the sky part of their particular...
And why not forget about it because it's too big and useless for most of us? Martin Morin Granby, Quebec Club des Astronomes Amateurs de Sherbrooke ...
