When using Lunar bitmap #3, there are some outlined areas near Pico. I know the black areas are caused by missing data, but why are these areas outlined?...
Hi Larry, Those lines are part of the "lunar features" (craters, landing sites, etc.), not the bitmap. I experimented with adding in such lines, expecting...

Is there any way to get the M key in Guide 8 to behave the same as it did in Guide 7? I don't like the new dialog box. When I want to go to M51, I just want...
Hi, ... seems like you'd have to assign M to the "Go to by object name" function. This will of course enable you to get to any object by pressing M and type...
Dear all, I've found something odd about Guide that I hope someone may be able to answer. When I've checked the "Show ground" toggle in the Settings |...

Hi folks, As it happens, I got an inquiry not long ago from a Guide user in Sweden about returning to the "old" Messier function. So I'll recycle some bytes...
Hi Arild, Yup, it's refraction plus altitude. The "ground" is dropped for both effects (set a ridiculously high altitude such as 10000 km, for example, and...
... I have always assumed so -- if you set Guide to the rising time of an object, it is below the (originally blue) horizon line, but just on the horizon of...
I wonder what's with the circles. After I set the size of aperture the circle appears but then when I go back to turn it off the message box shows no circle...

Larry, I had this same issue and resolved it by trying the right-click approach at different zoom levels. One of them always works the first (or second) time,...
Just installed the latest 8b update, and Guide|about still says March 29 version, same as the April 18 update. Not a big deal... unless of course, it's just...
Bill Gray, The ability to sort on different columns when accessing the tables of asteroids or comets and Messier objects is nice. However, not all of the...
... asteroids or comets and Messier objects is nice. However, not all of the columns seem to sort correctly. Please check these columns. RA, DEC, and ...
Ben, the comment about the "sorting" not working correctly puzzled me briefly. Then it occurred to me to play around with the RA/dec format, and I found...
Hi Larry, Anthony, Part of what's going on here is not unexpected. After I revised Guide to allow more than one aperture circle, I changed the button in...

If you type M51 enter and wait, you go to your object, the way it works in Guide 7. Just ignore the dialogue. ... -- This e-mail and any attachments have been...
