Bill and Group, I have written a small program that sorts through MPCORBcr.dat and filters out to separate files, various classes of asteroids. The problem is...
Hi Alan, I'll assume you're using ASTFILTER=b . This will cause Guide to display only asteroids from 'comets.dat' (that is, those added using "Add MPC...
Bill, or anyone else, Is it possible to use Guide to create a PDF or some easy way to share a finder chart with a group of people who do not have the same...
Roger I am not sure how you are trying to create a PDF file but I just created several using the File - Print command then printing to Adobe PDF which then...

Thanks, Ivan, I tried your suggestion, first trying to print to an image file. I got the same error message and Guide shut down. I do have the full version...
Interesting...I tried the same thing on my laptop and it worked. I will have to see if re-installing Acrobat on my desktop will work, or whether if I need to...
Roger If you can print from your desktop Guide to a printer but not to a PDF file the problem will be with Acrobat not Guide. Maybe you don't have Acrobat...

Hi Roger, Ivan, I'd be inclined to agree that if Guide can print to a printer (or a file), but not "print" to PDF, then it's apt to be something odd in...
Hi Bill, ... I just tried saving a mark image as a bmp, but can't get it to open in any of four viewers/editors I tried. What am I missing or doing wrong? (I...
Guide Users, Using Guide 8, when I click "Go To" and then "Comet", among the list of comets is "P/Harrington-Wilson", which right now is near perihelion and ...
I suspect that it is an error in the magnitude data. I you use Quick Info and that the setting to pick up comet less than mag 11, this comet will appear....
... Hello , I believe that P/Harrington-Wilson was only observed at its discovery apparition in 1952 and is subsequently lost or it has disintegrated. Cheers, ...
Hi Truman, This object is also known as D/1952 B1 (Harrington-Wilson). The 'D' indicates a deleted or disappeared object. Only seven observations were made...
Bill, I just see that the text is lacking in the left button in the "Toggle user datasets" windows (9 nov 2004 version). Laurent Zimmermann ...

Hello, I am having trouble changing the color of constellation lines, can't seem to remember where to do that. Can someone help me? Best regards, PJ [Non-text...
Hi, ... do the same as you would with any object you want to change the display of; right-click the constellation line, click Display, and in that dialogue you...
Thanks, now I remember. The problem was, since I downloaded the latest upgrade, the line colors in the display dialog box are the same color as the dialog box...
Hi Bill. I got request for Legend from my guide-friend. He (and me also) want to display "Moon Age" in Legend area. We are enjoying to plan to watch comet...

I have a request too! Is it possible to have UCAC2 stars displayed with positions corrected for proper motion? Actually <<...RA/dec is the J2000 value...
Guide can track out the motion of a comet via the real time animation dialog. Is there a way to make a Lx200 telescope slew to this position on an automated...
Can someone help? The IOTA website lists an upcoming occultation fo the star TYC 1954-01781-1 by the asteroid Antwerpia with the path near Jacksonville, FL on...
Hi Roger Yes, TYC refer to the Tycho catalog. There's one problem you can't do a seach for it in guide using the "goto" option in guide. Something for bill to...
Hi Roger, As Michael suggested, you can enter it as a GSC number. The Tycho designations were essentially "borrowed" from GSC. Alternatively, you can use...
I know this topic has been brought up here before, but is there any plan to make Guide 8.0 compatible with ASCOM or ACL-based telescope control systems? In my...
Hi Steve This is my only problem with Guide now. I use Guide for all planetarium work eg., comet and asteroid locations, but it will not communicate via ASCOM...
I agree with Steve and Lawrence. Especially for imagers, the lack of ASCOM integration is becoming a bigger and bigger shortcoming in Guide. I still wouldn't...
Can Guide8 control an AutoStar based scope? AutoStar is not listed in the Scope Control dialog box. I tried searching the archives, but wasn't able to find...
