I am trying to print star charts on an inkjet printer and don't have the option of printing black stars on white as with a laser printer in DOS. I am using...
Joe, I have downloaded and use a free utility called "Printkey" to capture and easily modify the Guide screens to tailor make my sky charts. Give it a try. ...
... I either get Guide to export the BMP file, or do a PrtSc then Ctrl-V, into Paint Shop Pro, then turn it into a monochrome image. -- Stephen Tonkin...
I looked at the description for Printkey and it looks like it doesn't work with Win XP. However, I did find Printkey 2000, and the description claims it will...
I tried the export to BMP and I get a really terrible image. It looks like very jagged isophotes (where there are none in the original image) crossing...
I have tried printing charts using the "Make .BMP File" in my Toolbar. When I try to open the Bitmap file in My Documents, I get the following Error message...
HI Bill, Yahoo has just implemented a thing called SpamGuard. It is causing many legitimate messages on many Yahoo groups to get labeled as spam. The fix is ...
... Good advice. The Yahoo! community at-large has declared the new SpamGuard Dead On Arrival. Yahoo! has been told to go back to the drawing board on this...
Hi Jerry, Several people have run into similar problems in creating BMPs. There are several possible solutions/workarounds, some of which actually have...
Hi Joe, Try using 'normal mode' instead of 'chart mode'. Print in the former, and Guide will produce a B&W printout with black stars on a white background....
Hi Ray, Thanks for mentioning this. SpamGuard has caught one legitimate message already, and doesn't appear to be of any particular use on this group anyway....
Hi David, I've updated the list; you can grab it from http://www.projectpluto.com/mpc_stat.dat Save this as a text file in your Guide directory, and you'll...
Thanks, Bill Your info solved all the problems I was having with this. I hope the other members who gave me suggestions will read your post - It will simplify...
Each star catalog has its own accuracy. While using many catalogs in Guide it's difficult to distingush the real stars from its ghost from others catalogs....
I agree with you, Alex, the idea of different colours is interesting. Let me make an example. The UCAC-2 stars are shown with their symbol (changeable at will,...
Group, How does one turn on constellation boundaries? I've checked just about everything I can think of and can't find that option anywhere. Dave Jessie...
Hello Dave, ... click on Overlays, Toggle overlays on / off, click on Constellation boundaries, switch them on. Make sure you have also checked the fov, for...
Hello Dave, you must go to "Overlays", then "toggle overlay ON-OFF". You'll find "constell. boundaries". put it ON and voilà, boundaries are ON. By Andrea ......

Hi Alex, Andrea, I would expect to handle the "symbol" problem as described at http://www.projectpluto.com/future.htm#symbols As is described there, one...

Hello all, I used Guide 8 to display asteroids but only one appeared ( it is with the comets in comets.dat ). I searched for the original file of asteroids by...
Hi there, Not certain if my advice is of any use to you, but these are things to check. (1) Are asteroids turned on in Display Data? (2) Is the mag limit set...
Hi Andrea, What you propose is essentially what I'm talking about, in the sense of detecting catalog overlap (that is, one star referenced in many catalogs)....
Bill, absolutely I'm sure it's a "not-so-easy-to-do" project. But I think (even if I would like to read the opinion of other GUIDE8 using people), that the...
