Hi guiders, ... I found prediction of occunlations by Pluto and Charon during 2000-2009. It was on The Astronomical Journal 120 (2000 Sep.) that was updated ...

This will appear in Go To... Comet. However, be warned: it's currently down at mag 22.3, so unless you have set the limiting magnitude for comets to be...
... Thanks Bill. This magnitude setting was my problem as I only had it at mag 20. Not much of a comet now but this will change big time next year. Mike H....
Hello all, You should ignore the elements for 73P that Guide currently displays in 2006. The 3 fragments will be separated by about 40 degrees of sky! I've...
Hi all, On Saturday night at about MAY08HRS0601UT the suspected binary asteroid 171 Ophelia will occult TYC 1405-01193-1 (unfortunately ~mv11.7) for observers...
What is the best way to get large chunks of the USNO B Catalogue? I was thinking of setting Guide to about 180 degrees and telling it to get the "B" stars...
I have encountered the following problem with printing of Guide 8.0 finding charts under Windows XP: If a compare the printouts of the same field (1 degree...

Sorry for the OT. If anyone is interested in 5acres within the Chiefland Astronomy Village proper please respond to me for details. Thkx...joe :) 5acres,...
Hi Pat, Problem here is that B1.0 is about 80 GBytes in its raw format, and considerably longer in the text format in which it's provided over the Internet....
Hi Werner, My guess would be that some setting is different in Guide between the two computers. To test this out, could I ask that you e-mail me the file...
Thanks, Bill. Let me try my luck with the Guide Group here. Is there any user who has a copy of the B1.0 data? I would be willing to buy a 100+ GB drive and...
Hi All, I've just pointed out something which seems to me a bit strange. Here it is: when I point at the quasar 3C 273, Guide displays several names of this...
I am a little confused or maybe I am not seeing the reason for the refraction mode found in the location window. If I change humidity, temperature or pressure,...
I was trying to see the effect of precession of the pole over a long period. I read somewhere that Alderamin would be the pole star in 5000 years, so I...
Check to see if, you have the epoch set to, "J2000". You find this option as "RA/Dec format" which is found under "settings". Change the J2000 are what ever...
Hi Bertrand, Looks as if Guide shows the correct RC3 data for galaxies that actually happen to be listed in that catalog. For galaxies _not_ listed in RC3, ...
Hi Ray, Guide will retain the alignment data, including the information as to what flavor of scope (equatorial, alt/az, etc.) you happen to be using. To...
Hi Denis, (For those wondering what Denis and I are talking about: http://www.projectpluto.com/new.htm#better_refraction I don't quite follow where some of the...
Hi Kevin, That did it - as far as moving the position of Polaris, but the grid is still centered in it's position relative to polaris. In other words, ...
I am currently running the February 23, 2005 version of Guide 8. What is the latest version and where do I go to find a download link to it? Also, can I just...
Hi Joe, For that, you should right-click on the grid, then on the Display button in the resulting dialog. (Or on the menu entry Display... Ticks, Grids,...
The problem is the grid epoch. Look for " ticks grids and etc" under display. Click on it. Click on "gids", again click on it. You'll see epoch, like J2000. If...
Hi John, You probably saw a reference to the "in-testing" version, posted at http://www.projectpluto.com/new.htm The currently-posted version there appears to...
Bill, now it makes a lot of sense. I was missing the fact that horizon always include the refraction. The function is therefore only for the legend display....
Thanks Bill, I KNEW it had to be in there somewhere - you sure don't miss much in the way of features to add. Joe ... Display button ... Grids, Etc., ... each...
Kevin, Apparently he already has that covered. If you haven't read his reply, just entering "D" into the epoch box will do it. I'm going to go into the manual...
