Chris:
Are you using the USNO A2 stars in Guide? If so then you have added a line
in the Guide.dat file like the one below. If not go to the guide.dat file
and add the following line:
A2_PATH=15.0;f:\ This tells both guide and charon to look for the A2.0 cd
on drive f.
The 15.0 is the magnitude where the software starts looking for USNO A2.0
stars in Guide. You can set it to any value you want. A little
experimentation will give you the density of stars you want Guide to use.
Charon will look at this path for its stars also if you have selected the
USNO A2.0 option in the charon startup menu. It will read Match to GSC-ACT
if you haven't changed it. Hit the enter key until it toggles through all
of the choices and you will find on that reads "Match to A2.0"
That should get you started and charon will ask you to insert the correct
cd in drive f.
