Hi Bill, Thanks for the info on MoonView. Maybe someone who is a programmer will tackle finishing it. It's a really neat program, but I can see why it's not...
Hi Bill, Hope this helps solve the G8 MFC crashing: I'm using two copies of Guide, one with G8 on my C: drive, and one on a 1.0 gig jump drive. They are set up...
Does Guide include the ZC star catalog that is used in occultations by planetary bodies? If so, how does one find a specific ZC star? We have a graze very...
Hi Roger, I haven't done any occultation observing since 1986, so I'm pretty much out of touch. Hopefully, someone more currently knowledgeable will show up....
Hi Roger, This star is also known as SAO 190065, PPM 272111, HIP 104429, and HD 201301. So you can, if you wish, skip the following steps: just use Go...
I guess this if for anyone that will give advice. On Dec 9th I was imaging an area of the sky, I won't say which just yet, and after processing about 25...
Take a look at the NED: http://nedwww.ipac.caltech.edu/ And at the DSS images: http://stdatu.stsci.edu/cgi-bin/dss_form Clear skies Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Renz,...
Thanks Wolfgang. I had pulled up images covering the whole area using Guide and these did not show what I am imaging. I guess it could be a reflection or...
Did you try the MPChecker Minor Planet Checker too ? http://scully.harvard.edu/~cgi/CheckMP It might find comets too. Clear skies Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Renz,...
Thanks. No sir no filters were used. 22x60 sec exposures showed an area which covers my aprox 1' image and would have been much larger. I will post this as...
Mike, since you've made your 'provenance' known about this suspicious object why don't you enlist your fellow amateurs? Enlist someone with a larger OTA to...
hi Mike. it would be really good if you could tell us were this is. many strange things can happen while imaging. as you use a refractor, a ghost reflection...
Hello, Larry, Grazing occultations are a lot of fun! I went to the Taygeta graze in Statesboro, GA in April of this year and got 8 events, by far my best ...
Thanks, Bill, Just what I was looking for! Clear skies, Roger ... 104429, ... the ... (ILOC) ... at ... the ... above ... data ... fixed ... My ... catch up...
Hello Roger, Didn't realize you're much farther advanced than I (incorrectly) assumed. I was pretty hooked on occultations at one time, reporting to ILOC (then...
Hello. After imaging the area for the third time last night and recording the same thing and having no reason I can find to beleive this does not exist, I...
Mike, I don't understand. If I read what you said below correctly you said you imaged the area a third time and the object is still there yet you came to the...
I came to this decision because I couldn't find one bit of information in any images including the DSS images which I downloaded that showed anything like...
hi mike that's indeed very strange. we can notice that this faint nebula shows up like a curved band. the radius of curvature makes me think of a diffraction...
Mike, Is it the "object" that looks like an arc of a circle ? Its center lies just in the direction of Bta And. I believe a good candidate is an internal ...

Mike, Just to complicate the situation a little further, I don't see GSC 2296 202 in your image. I can identify most of the other stars and galaxies but where...
... There is a star there, but it is 15 mag in the A2 catalogue. The older GSC catalogue has many mis-identified stars and lots of missing stars. The A2 data...
Hi Gary, Looking at GSC 2296 202 in DSS, it appears to be a double star, about 8" apart. GSC identified it as a single star, and got a horribly confused...
Bill, I just did that and I got 20 or 30 more stars brighter than the "bug star" (at level 6: 5 degrees). Guide 29 may 2006 version. Laurent ... De : "Bill J...

Hi Laurent, Errrmmm... my apologies; that line should indicate tenths of a magnitude. So to reset the limit to mag 9, use GSC_BRIGHT_LIMIT=90 With the 9...
