Hi Dave, This is documented (although you'd have to look hard to find it!) at http://www.projectpluto.com/update7.htm#ax0_direct It's a frequent question, and...
While making these recent changes I seem to have done something to my comets in Guide. I just grabbed the latest text file from Harvard for Guide and imported...
Hi, I'm sorry, but I can't find any info on this in the manual. How do I delete selectively downloaded DSS images from the hard drive and Guide? I just want to...
Hi All, I agree with that question, but should add another version of it: how can I delete a given original image of the CD #2 from my hard drive ? Cheers from...
Hi Dave, Hmmm... I just downloaded the most recent comet data from MPC, and it looks to be just fine. Importing it to Guide caused no problems. So I dunno...
Hi Mikkel, ... I ... I don't know how you would (or could) do it from within the program, but if you right click the image (preferably near a corner) so that...
I think if you get the box up you can type del and that will delete the image. Owen ... Owen Brazell Editor Webb DSO www.webbsociety.freeserve.co.uk ...
Bill, I will get you the file tonight, I've already gotten a copy of the one you suggested. Another little piece, when the window 'GUIDE help' opens it is...
I feel a little foolish for having to admit this but..... I checked the mag limits in the 'Data Shown' options and found that the limit for comets had been set...
Hi all, When preparing for the March 2006 eclipse i noted a strange thing: The "show eclipse" shows the path of the moons shadow across the globe and the...
You are right! It is an old shortage. The visibility chart is actually incomplete; see, for example, the eclipse chart in Astronomical Almanac. Tiziano Magni...
Bill and Group, I have a query re residuals for asteroids in FindOrb. I am having problems determining if my astrometry observations are OK, for my new scope....
I recently asked Bill if he had any suggestion as to things every Guide user should know or do. Because I was holding a "Guide Users Training and Features...
Mark Is it possible to post a summary of your topics? I think then we would 1st learn also something and 2nd would probably think of new suggestions cheers ...
... would ... suggestions ... A summary of topics would be a little difficult, the session lasted 2 hrs and covered a lot of material. But a run down of how I...
If I might add a couple of comments to this discussion thread... I have been using Guide for several years and gave a presentation to an astronomy club a...
Hi Guide users. Mark's E-mail prompted me to tell you about a talk I gave in August at the Northwoods Starfest in Wisconsin regarding the upcoming series of...
Hi, ... in Guide I only can find time steps about 10, 20 or 40 days in animation function. How can I set time step to Siderial period (27,3 days) of moon? ...

Dear Gerhard, open menu "Animation dialog". Click on the step size, not on the buttons "slower" or "faster". A window will open "Enter step size". Type 27.3...
Here is another way that can be used to check for conjunctions, eclipses, occultations, etc. Doesn't matter where the moon is located. First, right click on...

Hi Arild, ... All this does is that it leaves a white frame where the image was. It has been registered somewhere. Where it this? I cannot find any file in the...
... Guide 8.0 Oliver - Where did you locate this? The last update I see is from Feb 2005. Is this hidden somewhere?? Thanks in advance. Rob Robinson...

Hi Owen, Thanks for nudging me on how this is done... I added that feature a long time ago, expecting that I'd make it easier to get at. Then I failed to do...
