Here is a easy way, first go to 'Location' menu and select 'Sun', 'Geocentric position', set latitude and longitude. Press 'OK'. Press 'Ctrl-F5'. A window will...

HI Denis, at first, this seemed like yet another of those undocumented goodies of Guide (one should have a full-time job reading this list ;-)). But...

Well, not over here ;-). I can fill in any latitude (even a negative one), the view isn't changing: above the solar system and nothing but above. And I really...
Hi Philippe, Denis has this right, but I should mention one small detail: set the screen center close to the plane of the ecliptic, and _then_ hit Ctrl-F5...
I think I know what is causing the problem. First do not use you mark file to set the position on the above the Sun. Start the settings from your Earth...
Hi Bill & all, I wonder if anybody else is missing their Animation controls or right-click info boxes? From the menu 'Animation/Animation dialog...' doesn't...
Hello Jari, ... I usually work with a two-display setup. I know this problem. There are some inconveniences when switching back to one monitor (e. g. laptop...
Has there been any progress identifying the cause of the anomalies seen when Guide is run under the Vista OS? If anyone is successfully using Guide this way,...

In the process of trying to find the altitudes of Ur and Babylon, I found an excellent online gazetteer at http://www.fallingrain.com/world/ As far as I was...
Hi Jari, Bernd, I recently got a second monitor (actually, I found a surprisingly good one that had been thrown out at the local recycling barn, and hooked...
... You can find the icon in the taskbar then 'restore' it to the operative screen. You can also monkey around with 'move' and get the edge of the missing...
I just tried to call up the lunar phases option in Guide-8 (Vista OS) but the display window was empty. Other windows are mostly OK. The opening window ...
Hi folk, does anyone succeed in making working the new system to download data from Vizier according to the new update posted in June, 06? Cheers, Stefano...
Hi Laurence, I've just bought a new PC with Vista and have no such trouble. Lunar phases are as they used to be and the opening screen is also OK. Ho did you...
Hi Stefano, I'd not announced that "in-testing" update on-list, because it involves some reasonably big changes. I thought I'd run it past John Greaves (who...
Hello Roger Well that's curious! I just did a directory copy and the first problem has gone! It now reliably loads the starting screen OK! The other problem...
Hello Bill, a german ccd- and Guide-user (not member of this list) has two cameras between he switches often in Guide. Both are nearly at the opposite ends of...
OK - I surrender! I have just made a direct copy of every directory from the original to the new version (on the Vista OS drive) and all is now working well! ...
Hi Bernd, At the very least, line 37 should also be retained: http://www.projectpluto.com/mar_fmt.htm#37 This stores the frame height, width, and tilt...
Hi Lawrence, OK, with luck, I will now be barking up the right tree. I assumed the problem had nothing to do with installing. Looks as if I was wrong about...

Hi all, I still see the "blank opening screen" (actually white) when the window containing Guide was previously maximized. If the window is in its own ...
For what ever reason, I needed to reinstall Guide 8. While resetting up the program, to suit my purposes, I can not for the life of me figure out how to put...

Jerry, go to "Display > Data Shown..." and check the button for "Variables" as desired (the default is "Off"). Make sure to zoom enough to see the star ...
Juan, I've done that step before I asked the question. I'm running Guide 8 on three computers and have matched settings but I still don't have the designation...
Hello Bill and All, My question reports to the drawing of ellipses through .tdf and extrafiles. If I want to sketch a square, a rectangle, or a circle, I can...
