A nice opportunity exists for European observers to catch 2004 DZ61 passing near the face on spiral galaxy NGC 4535 tonight, March 4. 2004 DZ61 has a very...
Hi Bill, Thanks for the last update, which, as long as I see, seems to run perfectly. May I suggest an improvement for the next one? You could say "once...
Hi Bill, Hi All, First of all, I apologize for sending a second message in a so little time. My purpose, for this one is to know how I would be able to...
... rotation of the field when I click on each other icon "spin screen right/left". Hi Bertrand. I can't give you an answer to the rotation step size but I can...
Thanks, Bob, for a so rapid answer. That's, in fact, an "approaching way". Thanks again. Bertrand ... De : Bob Elliott À : guide-user@yahoogroups.com Envoyé...
Hi Bertrand, I was about to reply that there was already a "Go To... Nebulae... LDN" option in Guide, and that adding a hotkey and/or toolbar button to it...
What to say, Bill? One thing, only: as usual, your answers are rapid, efficient, and easy to run. What would we be without you! Thanks / Bertrand ... De : Bill...
Dear guide-users, this is an important information for users of the XZ80Q catalogue. At the TDF file for this catalogue, there is an error at line #14: The...
... Hi Bill. I have tried this and even went to Guide dat and added the line there to no avail. the CCD frame still moves in 5 degree increments. Was this ...
Hello Bob, I've exactly done Bill's instruction, hitting "Alt-J", and "SPIN_STEP=15", and the field turned of 15 deg instead of 5 deg. I verified this by...
Currently, in order to update Guide's databases of asteroids and comet data etc., we have to download individual files from standard web sites, and then use...
... Hi David. You cant turn off those tic marks. That is what distinguishes the UCAC2 stars from any other star catalog that you have up on the screen. e.g.....
Hi David, For the nonce, there are two ways. One is to click on a UCAC-2 star, then on Display, then on the Color item, and select a color that matches the...
Hi Jan, Oliver, Thanks for reporting this problem. I've updated http://www.projectpluto.com/xz80q.zip accordingly. (Though editing, or even just deleting, ...
Hi Bob, As you discovered, SPIN_STEP controls the 'on-screen' spinning, leaving CCD rotation at five-degree increments. I've just fixed this; in the next...
Can anyone explain how I install the Landolt user database? I unzipped the Landolt.zip file (it only contains Landolt.all) in the Guide 8 directory but nothing...
Hi Bernard, Um. It looks to me as if I did something very strange here, and I don't really know why! Fortunately, it's quite repairable. Try this file...
Hi Group, Using Guide 8 with a Mark I Micro-Guider (temporary hook-up), I noticed the crosshairs move smoothly until I swing the telescope upwards or downwards...
Hi there, I want to be able to use grids for my asteroid search. The problem is that the settings available aren't quite what I want. My field of view is 17' *...
Bill, I've got a problem with installing the LONEOS dataset, somewhat similar to my recent problem with Landolt. I downloaded the following files (from the...
Hi Bernard, Looks as if your browser has "helpfully" converted loneos.phot to loneos.phot.txt. Many browsers do this, and it's a _real_ pain. Rename the file...
Hi Alan, There's a way of getting the grid spacing you're looking for, but it may not be quite as helpful as you might like. Edit the file 'strings.dat' in...
Hi Lawrence, I delayed on replying to your post because I thought I'd have the feature done by now. Turned out to be slightly trickier than I thought, but I...
Errrmmm... looks as if I have to make some corrections here. First off, you don't actually need 'loneos.zip' (which contains 'loneos.tdf' and 'loneos.idf')...
Hi Bill, As usual you have come up with the goods! Well done. I am interested in the interface you suggest. Not certain how to go about it though. Thanks...
