Hi Bill, ... Come to think of it, there really should be a "Delete" button among the other buttons when you right-click the corners of the DSS images. The...

Just a couple of quick questions: Has anyone put together a .TDF file of the Herschel II list for Guide? If so, where can I download it? If not, what is the...
Bill, I know there are so many cameras coming out these days that it must be impossible to keep up with them all. I would like to put in a request for the...

Hi Bertrand, Thanks for the report on the Meade problem... I'll see if I can puzzle anything out on that. Anyone else tried out the new Meade scope features?...
