2003 UB313 Although I downloaded all the update files for Guide using the built-in 'update' feature, I could not goto the object - does not exist. I could ...
Go to message 5056 on the Guide users web site. Copy the elements and then go to message 5061 and follow Bill Gray's instructions. It worked for me. Kevin...
Where did you go on the Guide website to find that update? The one I am using says April 28, 2005 and I thought I had the latest. I noticed that Denis said...
Hi, Go to the page http://www.projectpluto.com/new.htm. At the first line, Bill wrote: Here's an "almost ready, but not quite" update to Guide. It is stable,...

Hi Lawrence, Indeed, the elements for 2003 UB313 (and others that Bill montionned in an earlier message, like 2005 FY9 AND 2003 EL61) are not in the ".txt"...

It was the beta at http://www.projectpluto.com/new.htm I had a problem and Bill sent me a version with a trouble-shooting routine to help him solve it. I...
I know I must be missing or overlooking something here. I am trying to generate a table or listing of sunrise/sunsets over a period of time from within Guide...
Hi Laren, I don't know any update later than 2005 June 21. I was running under the 2005 March update until last days, and have just downloaded the 2005 06 21. ...
Hi Bertrand, Yes, that's the same version I have on my WinXp sp2. It's an "almost ready" beta, and I assumed (bad!!!) the beta had by now been "certified sane"...
Well I have tried everything to identify the new object 2003 UB313 but despite carefully following the simple instructions, Guide repeatedly reports 'not a...
Dear Lawrence, you have used the way Bill has described with Kevin Fetter's data, right? If you have copied the elements into a separate txt file be sure it...
Hi Lawrence, In the directory where Guide is installed, there is a file named comets.dat. Check that there is a line beginning with "2003 UB313" and with the...

Lawrence, I am not sure if you did the right procedure. First try, under menu goto 'asteroid' enter '2003 UB313'. Second, if the object does not exist, get MPC...
Ben I have wanted to do this but I don't believe the feature is in Guide. If it is it is well hidden. Adding the ability to generate the rise and set times...

Yes! Thanks Denis - this worked! I tried the previous suggestions; I re-edited the file of *.txt to no avail, and also the other one (comets.dat) but neither...
I don't know, the procedure seems easy to me. No need to re-invent the wheel. Bill, I am sure, intended the program to work the way as explain it. Denis...
Hi guide-users, I have updated the tdf "Planetary systems", which shows all the systems with extrasolar planets. (July 2005) Clicking on the star, you'll get...
Hi All, HI Bill, I've noticed that the 21 June 2005 includes a new toolbar button, which allows to toggle the GSC non stars. This is very handy, because non...
As a longtime user of Guide, I have also wanted a quick way to toggle the GSC stars on/off. I wish Bill would 'borrow' from one of the other mapping...
Hi, 1. if I'm copy all Realsky disks to the hard disk, how do I tell Guide to search there for the Realsky images? I tried to change line 63 at startup.mar to...
Hi All, Has anyone already written a .TDF (Text Definition File), choosing a dashed circle as drawing ? I can ask Guide to draw a circle with a solid line,...
Hi Oliver - I would like to know too - I wonder if it's on the Project Pluto page - I do know that you CAN put chunks of RealSky on the HD and Sky6 will see it...
Also another Question... - is there a procedure (or planned upgrade) to automatically download USNO-B (or NOMAD?...) to Guide 8 akin to what you can do under...
Hi All, One more question. When you select a dataset to toggle, Guide asks you to choose the fov that you want to see the concerned objects. You must enter a...
Hi I have a small (surely dumb) question about the horizon setting. Guide seems to have the horizon objects in memory. I can deselect with ";" any object in...
Is there nobody who can help? I also jsut renamed the horizon.dat in a horizonold.dat and still no change.... Is guide8 using a different file?? thanks Alex...
ok, i figured it out by myself ;-)) I changed the horizon.dat in the /guide8/text directory, without noticing that there is also a horizon.dat in /guide8....I...
No, Alex, it was not a dumb question, maybe no one in the users' group knew the answer. I don't use horizon settings beyond the default, but was waiting to see...
Me too, can you tell me what you use to open and edit horizon.dat, I would love to get rid of that aeroplane and add a couple of hills to suit my horizon. Jim...
Jim, Use 'notepad' or any text editor to open the horizon.dat file. The objects are actually in the 'objects.dat' file. At the bottom of each file is...
