Good day, I was reading messages posted back in 2007 regarding Guide, ASCOM and EQMOD. Many of my questions were answered and I was able to run EQMOD under...
Hi Mark Hitting the F3 key will update the guide time. It isn't automatic but close. If you have lots of moving objects on the screen, Guide will have to...
Can this person(s) using "." as a From name, PLEASE give a name on the appropriate line? This gets fouled up in spam filters and simply causes problems to be...
Hi Mark, There are a couple of solutions. As Bob Elliott pointed out, hitting F3 will do the job. Or you can run animation in "real time" mode, with a...
Thanks for the replies, Bob and Bill. What you state below makes sense, Bill. I suppose even an hourly update (via F3 as Bob mentioned) or via the Animation ...
Hi Mark and all. I am in the habit of hitting the F3 key just before I ask Guide to slew the telescope. That way I get an update on the objects Alt and...
Hi Bill & all, Is there any reason why it would not be possible to have a set of radio buttons (e.g. in the Time Menu) to specify how Guide keeps the chart...
Hey Bill & Bob, I was able to test Guide with ASCOM and EQMOD last Saturday and am happy to report that things went pretty well. You were right, Bill, the time...
Hi Bernd, ... Not so. Guide does provide a 'fuzzy' shadow, so that both the umbra and penumbra are visible. The penumbra is just _barely_ visible. I used...
Hello Bill, thank you for your fast answer. But I think that's not just the point. The question is more: How is the atmosphere of Jupiter treated? Is it a...
Hi Bernd, Ah, I see what you mean. No, the atmospheric effects aren't treated; the assumption is of an airless object. Treating this properly would be an...
Hello navillus95472 To display galactic projection, do as following, [Display] -> [Inversion menu] -> Select [Galactic north up] And [Display] -> [Ticks, grid,...
As Masaki Kouda mentioned, you can switch from (celestial) North up to galactic north up via Display... Inversion. I'm not sure if you wanted that, or...
I'm sure there is no reason you can't configure Guide8 to work on your new laptop as I am sure Denis is doing so. I will forward this to the Guide-user group...
Hi Richard, At present, this is far and away the most Frequently Asked of FAQs! Fortunately, the solution is simple: http://www.projectpluto.com/setup.htm --...
To All, Tonight, when I saved a mark after updating a few configuration settings, Guide 8 will not boot without CD-1 in the CD drive, and when I try to load a ...
Download the latest(Oct) from this site, http://www.projectpluto.com/new.htm After this update, go and open the startup.mar file with notepad to see if all...
When saving the files in notepad make sure they are saved as .txt files. I found that somehow my files were inadvertantly saved as .rft files (mark.nam ...
Hi Dennis and Woodchuck, <<After this update, go and open the startup.mar file with notepad to see if all data lines are in it. >> ... Are you saying that for...
Not really. Check to see if your file startup.mar is correct. It seems to me Guide is not working because this file is corrupted. If you have it in a backup...
Happy Holidays to all on the forum. Its Christmas Eve and I am trying to figure out how to connect my computer to my mount. Particulars: Dell laptop running XP...
Hi, what screenfont are you using ? I amnot satisfied with any, because I find they all seem to have numbers (Flamsteed catalogue in Star Display) that are...
You really need the most simple and graphically geometrical font that you can find to minimize confusion between labels, numbers and all I.D.'s and objects...
Thank you Doug and Dr. Clay, I have now taken Arial 10 (but Arial 9 seems also good). Numbers are really nicely displayed in Arial). I probably simply tried to...
I have been trying to use the location indicator, under vista. It works fine, until I try to use real time animation, then it crashes. I tried doing the same...
