I created a chart for the asteroid. I set the time at 8:30 local time. Made a trail with 15 minute steps, index freq at 2, label freq at 4, with 20 steps. The...
Hi Larry, You're right. Both the time labels and the cross-marks are added relative to the start of the trail, not shifted as they ought to be. The behavior...
Hi Bill. I sent reply mail on 25 Mar. But that mail was not distribute... I hope this meil will be distribute. ... Thank you for officiall update. I checked...
Hi Bill. I simulated occaltation by Pluto on 18 in Mar. I heard peoples in North America observed this event. I displayed pluto with CMC-14 star. Guide...
Hi Bill I have been using GUIDE to do computations for the southern hemisphere geostationary solar flare season and found I was getting different answers to...
Hi Masaki, You're right. I had Guide running with the "label by name" option set (right-click on any planet or natural satellite, then on "Display", then on...
Hi Greg, "...wouldn't it have been more correct to use the apparent position in the QUICK INFO section ? I made the assumption that it was." Interesting...
Bill, thanks for the correction on the hour round_off on comet/asteroid trails. If the program is shut down with the "Toggle Aperture" turned off I have to ...
Hi Bill, it seems still not be working to find USNO A2 stars. I am using the version from Feb. 16 I use goto TDF object and then USNO A2. But whatever form I...
No problem for me. But I run the 30 march version. Bertrand ... From: Josch Hambsch To: guide-user@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 10:18 PM ...
Hi Bertrand, thanks for your reply. Could you specify how do you input the name of the star? Do you use _ or blank between the two number fields. I will...
Indeed it works. I made a mistake in using the Goto TDF object. I checked the GUIDE website explanations and it is actually Goto Object Name. Josch Hambsch ...
Hi Josch, You _could_ go through the process you suggest, using "Go To... TDF Object... USNO A2.0 data (downloaded from ESO)". You could then enter, for...
Thanks Bill for the info. I do not have USNO A2 data downloaded but all off them on disk. So only the second method works. In case of USNO B1.0 data, which are...
Hi Josch, "...In case of USNO B1.0 data, which are downloaded then only the first method works, right?" Yes. One _can_ use B1.0 data in its original format,...
Hi Masaki, You mentioned that "... Guide display occultation event with CMC-14 star, not with 2UCAC star." (This for the 18 March 2007 event, when Pluto...
Hi Bill. Thnak you for comment for Pluto's occaltation with UCAC2 star. I know Asteroidal occanltations and Pluto's occaltations are very serious. They request...
Hi Bob, Did you solve your problem? It seems that I have the same issue. I just downloaded the latest guide and it freezes at startup. Thanks for any help. ...
Hi All, Hi Bill, The Nomad catalogue has just been released at http://vizier.hia.nrc.ca/viz-bin/VizieR?-source=I/297. Since Nomad is a compilation of the best...
Hi Bertrand, I've hopes that the next update to Guide will have a much better capability to handle downloadable datasets. That is, if you see a dataset on...
Hi Claude, You wrote to (Bob Modic) : "... Did you solve your problem? It seems that I have the same issue. I just downloaded the latest guide and it freezes ...
Hi Bill, I sent you the requested file in a separate email, but after downloading the file mentioned below, things did not improve. I loaded guide8 into the...
Thanks, Bill, for your answer. The main interest for the NOMAD catalog is, at least for me, that it includes pretty good Vmags from the Y unpublished catalog,...
I know I've seen this question asked before, but in reviewing the archives for an hour or so I couldn't find the question or the answer. Other than opening...
Hi Pete, "...Other than opening MPCORB.dat and manually removing the selected asteroids, and then doing an Edit Comet Data from Guide itself, is there some way...
Thanks Bill, I didn't know that I could open MPCORB.dat as a .txt file with Word. Actually the intent here is to winnow out some 600 of the brighter asteroids...
Hi Bill, Could Pete selectively rem out lines by putting an "#" at the front of each line instead of deleting it? That way the lines would be easy to find if...
Pete, I've been observing the asteroids for 30 plus years and like you have wanted a way to 'filter' out what I had previously seen. I had the same problem...
For those interested I have written a small program which takes the large MPCOrb file and reduces it to a small file of asteroids based on user date and...
