Hello, I have the following problem: I have updated my Guide 8.0 with 32-bit (Win95/98/NT/XP) update (GUIDE8.ZIP) (about 885 KBytes) and German (232K) update. ...
Hi - I'm a newbie with Guide, but so far I love it. The windows version is fine, but the DOS version is more difficult ! I need DOSGUIDE to run alongside...
Hi Werner, Use the 'Proper Motion' button. It'll do what you're looking for. The stars _will_ move, but only due to proper motion: that is, unless you set a...
Hi Paul, There are definitely some oddities in the DOS version. As you might expect, there hasn't been much demand for it for some years now... _except_...
Hi Bill, My problem is that Windows is not installed on the laptop that runs Scope and Guide, so I just copied everything as you suggested. I now find that...
Hello Bill, there seems to be a small bug in the latest (29.08.2008) Guide 8 version. I did the following: Find mp Ruriko (I hope there will be an occultation...
Hi Bernd, Yes, this is definitely a bug; I was able to get the same behavior. I eventually figured out that it happened whenever I went to an asteroid,...
I was hoping to do some astrometry of comet Boattini tonight. From Guide I get the name: Boattini (c/2007 W1). I enter the name, followed by a large number of...
Hi Lawrence....in this case, all that Guide wants is the designation (not name): cC/2007 W1 entered exactly that way. Clay ... Dr. P. Clay Sherrod Arkansas Sky...
Sorry Lawrence. It was presumptuous of me to think that you wanted C/2008 J1 when there are two Boattini comets up there right now. If you ask Guide to give...
Hi Lawrence, I gather you're wondering what _MPC_ is looking for, rather than what _Guide_ is looking for? I went to MPES, entered C/2007 W1, and got data for...
Hi Bill (et al) Yes, I was trying to persuade MPC to deliver .... but using the Guide 'title' I couldn't persuade it. I asked this query a year or more back...
Does anyone know how far off Guide8 will be using October 15, 2008 MPC data with 'Use MPCORB' activated? Before each imaging run I grab the latest files at,...
Hi Bill, if you go to "Help" in the command line and toggle - List Hotkeys-, you probably find out that this text can`t be changed according to hotkey.dat. How...
Greetings to the group. I am writing an article for the club newsletter and am trying to find some information about the limit at which a planet can capture or...
Roger, Greetings. Try this link http://space.newscientist.com/article.ns? id=dn9336&feedId=online-news_rss20 "Upper size limit for moons explained" 18:31 14...
Hi Ulrich, It used to be that the 'List Hotkeys' text was fixed, and didn't change when hotkeys were reassigned. But this was fixed in the current update:...
Hi Roger, I gather you're aiming at the maximum distance at which a planet can hold a satellite. That's a slightly different issue than the one mentioned in...
Hello friends, it seems it has been quite a while since I posted an image to the group. This is mainly due to a very annoying mixture of bad weather and little...
Initial image = Very Nice. Medium image = Excellent! Full image = Outstanding!!!! GREAT work. Love those background Gx's too...joe :) "May You Go Among The...
Hi Dietmer and all Guide users. Whenever I get an image like this I like to turn on all galaxies in Guide and see how many small fuzzy stars are really distant...
well from the look of that image it seems you remembered where all the cables went :-) Very nice Owen ... Owen Brazell [Non-text portions of this message have...
I would like to know how you can 'set the mode' night vision in guide8! thanks! Alfredo Caronia [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
