Help fellow Guide users! After being away for a little over two months I fired up Guide8 and noticed that it appeared to be running very slowly, the cursor...
Hi Dave, First thing I'd try would be to shut off comets, then asteroids, to determine which is the problem. Odds are that the asteroids are the real...
Hi Bill, I have tried turning off both comets and asteroids individually and it seems to be a toss up as to which makes Guide8 run slower. With both turned off...
Hi Dave, I don't quite understand how you are updating MPCORB? All I do is download the latest version and extract it into Guide Directory. Any updates I need...
Currently, my Guide-8 shows only the small galaxies images when I am using 60' fov. Is there a setting to get small images displayed at wider fov? Lawrence...
Well I took the plunge and reinstalled Guide8 and the comets and asteroids are back with very little lag in program speed. I did loose some of the toolbar...
Hi Dave, Since you mention that there were problems with either comets _or_ asteroids shown, I'll hazard a guess that the dataset of comet orbital elements...
... Hi Lawrence, There are two key settings here. In Extras... DSS/RealSky images, you can set the fields of view at which the images are shown. If you ask...
I am in need of some, more, help from those who have used the 2 DVD set of USNO-A2.0/UCAC-2 CDs that came from Project Pluto. I have already gotten my hands on...
... Hello Bill Yup - I know the theory from way back - but it just doesn't work for me. Take NGC1637 as an example. On a 60' arc fov, it shows the image. I...
Hi Lawrence, I just tried this again, playing around with various things, and made one (I hope relevant) discovery: if you set MIN_IMG_SIZE=0, then it goes...
Hi Bill That has fixed it! I now realise how this probably arose. The entry for min size was not present. Maybe I had copied the file some time in the past,...
Hi Jerry, If you look about 90% of the way down the list of toolbar buttons shown in Settings... Toolbar, you'll see these five items: Focus in (LX200) Stop...
If I activate the 4 focus speeds, how are the focus in & out, fast & slow buttons used? Shouldn't there just be a focus in & focus out as long as a speed is...
Since I am not capturing my own images yet I have no way of checking to see if I have Charon correctly using the recently installed UCAC-2 catalog from the DVD...
Hi, I am having problems to download USNO B1.0 stars. It worked once for a special field but if I want to do it for another field, I always get the info that...
Hi Josch, on this page they say you can send a disk, I think they mean a hard disk, for the 80 GBytes. http://tdc-www.harvard.edu/software/catalogs/ub1.html ...
Thank you Konstatntin for the link. I will try to get it this way. Regards, Josch Hambsch http://www.astronomie.be/hambsch http://users.pandora.be/hambsch/ ......
... USNO B1.0 catalogue? ... The USNO B1.0 catalogue occupies 77.7GB of storage space. That's about 19 single-sided DVDs, and a massive amount of bandwidth...
High Mike, I do have the USNO A2 data, but the B1.0 data are of newer date. I used the download possibility of GUIDE for my first field, but for a second field...
Hi Josch, You shouldn't have to delete anything before downloading more B1.0 data. Downloads should simply accumulate. When you want to get rid of all the...
Hi Bill, it worked flawlessly the first time I used it in a star field and since then I could not get any more data. I tried several fields at different...
Hi Josch, I had a similar trouble with A2.0 at one time and I had to delete the file from the hard drive and all was well thereafter. Cheers, Roger Pickard ......
Hi everybody, Hi Bill, I must say that I have the same problem for a couple of days, may be two weeks. Whatever the field and the localisation,Icick on the...
