Markus, that can be fixed, simply go the Guide Icon, right click and select properties, select compatibility tab, check the "disable visual themes". It should...
Hi Arie, (Scratching head) I doubt these things are actually Vista related. There _are_ some known Vista issues, described a bit (and solutions provided) at ...
<sigh> I do seem to have a lot of problems getting comet data from the MPS. Guide shows comet c/2008 C1 at high dec. I enter this data under my observatory...
I am not sure just what you are trying to do, but if it is to get a location of C/2008 C1 Try these two things. Go to Extras in guide and click on "Add MPC...
Right now I am having trouble downloading the "soft2un.txt" file from MPC site (probably down or having trouble). The computer gives a site timeout window. But...
Hello Bob Yes, I realise all the facilities within Guide (I have been using it since Guide-2). Guide shows me exactly where comets are (as you know). I use...
I am using Guide on my observatory computer to locate comet Kohoutek 75P. The location is given on this computer, but I have just installed Guide on my main ...
Lawrence I just looked at the MPC observable comets list for Feb 08 and 75P is not listed. I seem to remember looking for this comet several years ago without...

Hello Patrick. One of FAQ that when Guide9 will release is the one nobody knows. But I expect it'll be after "UCAC3" releace in this spring. Kouda, Masaki...
My Guide 8 has been acting strangly, displaying Messier objects bunched up an an area above the ecleptic. And today it refused to boot from the hard drive,...
Ah but as far as I know UCAC 3 has now been delayed until the autumn. See http://ad.usno.navy.mil/ucac/ As Bill has never made any noises about the delivery of...
Do we already have - or could we have a second CCD camera frame available and offset? I want to set up a guide camera frame near to the main CCD frame to ...
Hello Lawrence, ... do you mean a guider chip with a fixed separation and orientation (as many of the SBIG cameras have) or a second independant camera? For...

Hello Lawrence, ... the answer is in this link I gave before: http://www.projectpluto.com/update7.htm#guider_chips It is an (like many others) undocumented...
Hi Lawrence, If you have a "standard", off-the-shelf camera such as an SBIG or MegaTek camera, you can just select your type of camera. Guide already...
Hi Owen, At one time, I _was_ planning on having UCAC-3 be a major new part of Guide 9.0. I'm no longer holding my breath for UCAC-3 (though I'll be...
Hi Pete, Sorry for the late reply to this! Something must have gone wrong in the update. You should _not_ be asked for a password when you unZIP that file....
Hi Adam, A very belated answer to this one: Guide doesn't show the earth shadow. Something I probably ought to add at some point. It would be well if the...
