Hello, I know there was a way, but can't remember it now. I have the ouput of the HORIZONS data query saved as txt-file. How can I import the data (for NExT) ...
Hi Bernd, The .tdf file for this is supplied at http://www.projectpluto.com/extras.htm#neocp When I tried it out, I realized that the format of the Horizons ...

Hello I need to calculate the orbital elements of a moving body in the solar system with given three observations. I'm trying to solve this with the software...
Hello - my old laptop died and I have just restored guide 8 from a backup. After the restore everything but the list hotkeys button from the help drop down...
Hi Scott, That could happen if any of several files were missing or clobbered. (In fact, I'm a bit surprised that the program is working at all. Do you see...
Hi Sebastią, For ephemerides: "...in elongation shows - or +, for leading or trailing..." I may add something like this, though I may use letters such as...
Hi Onur, "...I'm trying to solve this with the software find_orb but it seems like I should define a provisional designation in the input file. the problem I...
Hello Bill, ... you have already the elongation from the sun in the ephemerides. But one can only sort them by integer value. It would be nice if the sorting...
Hello, Guide reads astronomical ephemerides DE405 and DE406, in the data format produced by Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Can Guide read the new planetary library...
Hi everyone - In Scope.exe, can I slow the slew rate for the azimuth drive, without affecting the altitude motor ? I can only see PWM settings in Config.dat...
Hi Dario, Yes, Guide can do this. (Note that the improvement in position is _very_ small indeed!) To do so, you first need to get the DE421 data, in ASCII...
Hi Bill, Thanks - I realised as soon as I sent it, and then sent into the right group ! For general interest, I have been a Scope user for years (home-built...

Hi Tim, Just be sure to update any changes on the thumb drive back to your hard drive and vice versa. I had G8 on a thumb drive, and was making frequent...
Hi Tim, As others have indicated, this should be quite straightforward. You _can_ just run 'setup' to install to the thumb drive, but Jim's suggestion has...
Hello Bill and others.... Once again, my "Comet Table" has become a mess of duplicates, old nomenclature, and discarded comets. I use the frequent updates...
Hi Clay, I'm not sure if this is what you want, but duplicate objects frequently show up in in Guide as double X's. I'm not sure if this happens with Soft02,...
Thanks Alan..... The data appears to accumulate rather than being replaced with updated comet information. Old designations, and comets that are no longer...
I think the MAC catalogue is private to Megastar so I don't think it would be available to upload anywhere else. regards Owe ... [Non-text portions of this...
