Re: [guide-user] RE: How to see the object WT1190F guide 9?

Well....how crazy is that?
You are right, it works via GO TO asteroid and does not interfere with the regular NEO list that I am keeping on Guide.
So long as it works, I do not need to know how I suppose.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Never mind – I have it. You have to use GOTO….Asteroid, then enter WT1190F, for some reason.

 

At least, that works for me.

Same issue here. I even made sure there were no HTML formatting tags inside the DAT file….(there were, when I first saved it). Restarted Guide again, etc. Goto….Satellite does not find any of the objects listed in PROBES.DAT

 

Any other ideas?

Hi Clay,

I wish browsers were a little smarter about such things! (Of late,
I've taken to having all text files have extension .txt. But 'probes.dat'
existed before I started running into the problem.)

Try downloading this (same file, except with the name .txt instead of .dat) :

http://www.projectpluto.com/probes.txt

Then save it to your Guide folder, changing the '.txt' to '.dat' when
you do so. Should get you around the problem.
