Re: [guide-user] Guide 8 draws nigh

Hi Bill,
No, I haven't tried Bill's system. To tell the truth, I'm still on the
"learning curve" of the other software. But I might try out Bill's system
in the future. Once I did a software "combination." I forget the asteroid,
but there was one that was whizzing by fairly fast and close last year, and
they put up the coordinates for us Guide users. So I got the telescope up
and running using "brand x," and syncrhonized on a star. Then I shut that
program down, and told Guide to "slew program" to where the scope was. It
worked! Then I told Guide to slew the scope to where the asteroid was, and
it did! (All this with an AP1200 mount, which has codes similar to
Meade, I believe.)
