Hi Kevin, After reading your post, I checked and found I was still using September 23. I had d/l the final October 2 update, but forgot to extract it to the G8...
If all the elements in MPCORB.dat are NOT of the same equinox (ie I had applied Integrat to Today - yesterday, then had Astrometrica Update the MPCORD.dat...
Hi David, Hmmm... not a situation I'd considered, unfortunately. When I wrote Integrat, I asked Gareth Williams of the Minor Planet Center if I could rely...
Hi John, I can confirm that yes, there is a real, somewhat bizarre problem involving the 2114 eclipse. (When you get to the 2114 eclipse, Guide "stops";...
Hi Harald, If you look in Settings... RA/Dec Format, you'll see that you have "Epoch of Date" selected. Switch to J2000, and you should be all set. The...
Hi Larry, Hmmm... interesting screen shots! Could you please get Guide to show this sort of display; exit the program; then e-mail me the file 'startup.mar'...
Hi Bill, I'll do that in the morning. I made a backup copy of Guide on my D: drive, and re-installed Guide on my C" drive twice this afternoon. Same problem, ...
Hi Larry, ... That is clear for me. I suppose that "D" stands for "date", the actual epoche of date, if set so. ... This works fine. ... OK. But what makes me...
Hello, Thank you for your messages, You told me to go to http://www.projectpluto.com/occ2004.zip ( it works ) but there is no link on the projectpluto web page...
To all, In trying to solve this double-labeling problem, I was deleting the entire Guide directory before re-installing. (Guide does not install anything ...
Hi all, I received notice recently about a predicted asteroid occultation that should occur last night. Now, even though I had finder charts and all downloaded...
Hi Arild, I'll second that! I've never observed from the Sun, but have found my self trying to observe eclipses in Anyang, China when Guide was still set for ...
Selon Laren Dart <sandman@...>: Hello Laren, Thanks for the link you showed me that I did not know. I guess there is no web page for the files linked to...
Hi Jean-François, ... I found tables for occultations by Pluto and Charon covering years 2004 -2007 at: http://occult.mit.edu/research/occultations/ But I...
Hi Stephen, Still digging in to this. The page you reference has moved, by the way, to http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/jupiterfact.html and...
Hi Arild, You are far from alone here. Confusion as to which planet Guide is set for has led to assorted "why is planet/asteroid/comet/satellite way off from...
Hi Kevin, I don't understand why this works on your computer, but not mine. I use Win98SE. As a test, I installed the original Guide8 CD1 on a friends Win95 ...
Hi Bill, <<"defensive programming", and it occurs to me that putting the planet name in the legend when it is not Earth, and adding a "(Jul.)" or "(Greg.)"...

My suggestion would be to display the location in the title bar. It could be " Guide 8.0 - Earth - Myplace ". This also brings an other point, why not have the...
Hi Kevin, I think you're right, I can't think of any other reason. But it does seem that anything as basic as the common star name menu would be installed even...
Selon Oliver Kloes <oliverkloes@...>: Hello Olivier Thanks for the link. It is already a good thing to have the ephemerisis ... Regards Jean-François...
Hi folks, Larry, thanks for the pointer on the 'go to star' bug. Problem was, Guide would translate a given star name to its Hipparcos number, then look in...
Hi folks, Larry, I'm still curious about the doubled labels you previously had that have now gone away. I'm usually happy to say that something is _not_ a...
Hi Bill, <<What I mostly wish to accomplish here is to ensure that people are alerted when using a "non-standard" choice. The "(Greg.)" or "(Mars)", for...
