Hi Bill, Hi All, With the two extra features, "Dias and alter catalog" and "Preliminary amateur open clusters catalog", Guide has significantly improved its...
Hi Bill ! I have seen in the instructions like putting the name of a letter: " Edit the text file STARTUP.MAR, in your Guide directory. It will contain a line...
Bill, Downloaded and copied the tear2.exe file to my Guide8 folder. Seems to be working OK. As mentioned in an earlier post the file downloaded is called ...
Hi Kevin, Correct, there's no 'progress' bar. That's because Guide can't find out what the size of that file is in advance; it just reads bytes until it...
Hi Sebastią, Yes, this will work. Guide will simply keep on looking for CDs on all three (or four, or N) drives, and will make use of whatever Guide CDs...
Hi Bill, Hi All, Just downloaded the beta update. All seems perfect. I run with an antic laptop, Pentium II, 266 Mhz, under W98, The two CD being uploaded on...
Hi Bill, No problem. Just mentioned it in case you were unaware of it. Kevin ... -- This e-mail and any attachments have been scanned for viruses by Norton...
OK ! works! Alive in Barcelona (Spain); when I enter my city in Guide 8 I believe that it aims at a town of Suramerica that is called equal. don't know how...
Hi Sebastią, I see what you mean... enter "Barcelona", and Guide finds the city in Venezuela, not the one in Spain. To avoid this, enter "Barcelona,...
... Hello Bill Perhaps I misunderstood this. I have a program that has the facility to update files from the Internet; I click on 'update' and the rest is...
Hi Bertrand, The Dias open cluster catalog is easy, because no actual changes are required. If you go to http://www.projectpluto.com/extras.htm#openclus and...
Hi Bill and Lawrence and all: <<There was no message to say that it was done successfully so I assumed that it had failed >> On my first use of the new MPC...
Hi Michael, The update (with some comments on what it includes) is at http://www.projectpluto.com/new.htm Incidentally, changing the download dialog to show a...
Hi folks, A quick announcement about an update to a program that probably very few of you have a use for: http://home.gwi.net/~pluto/integrat.htm This is a...
Hi Mark, I've posted a preliminary description and TDF for this dataset at http://www.projectpluto.com/dsh_2004.htm It seems okay so far, and should migrate...
Hello Bill This works fine, now. (1) Is it possible to incorporate the MPCorb.zip file within this update option? (2) Instead of one-by-one downloads, how...
Hi Bill, Hi All, I have downloaded this new DSH update. The program run perfectly. Many thanks, Guide is, right now, a the top of clusters data. Bertrand ... ...
Hi Bill, Hi All, using a bit more the new Dsh data, I think I have notice a small oddity. Look for instance at Ferrero 1 cluster, which is both a Dsh and a...
Hi folks, I just got word from Philipp Teutsch, a member of the Deepsky Hunter's group. Seems the DSH-2004 catalog that I posted is not really supposed to be...
Hi Lawrence, I do have some thoughts of incorporating 'mpcorb.zip', perhaps in the same dialog. I may also set up a similar dialog for downloading artificial...
Hi All, Does anyone know whether the April 29th update of Guide 8 will accept negative encoder resolutions for use with the Micro-Guider 5 digital interface? ...
Hi Ray, The negative resolution shouldn't be necessary. One reason Guide requires a two-star alignment is that the second star tells it which way is which. ...
Hi Bill, I was going to ask for artificial satellites as well. Especially weather satellites. I receive the NOAA and, when available, Meteor APT weather ...
Hi Bill, Thanks for the reply. Using the April 29 update with Win98 and a Micro-Guider 5, I did get the "Scope resolution successfully set" message, and I did...
Bill I tried to download the "Current WDS catalog" from the "Extras.htm#wds" page and get a "URL not found". I went to the US Naval Observatory site and got it...

Hi Ray, Sounds as if you probably have the previous alignment data hanging around. When you start up scope control, you specify which type of scope you have;...
Hi Larry, Yes, I see the problem... some time back, USNO revised the Astrometry Department part of their site. I didn't catch this particular change. It's ...
