> Joe, I think you're actually okay here. When you use that line in
>GUIDE.DAT, you're telling Guide that the data exists on your hard
>drive, and to display it (in the case you gave) when the limiting
>magnitude drops fainter than 14.5. If you zoom in far enough,
>the SA1.0 stars will be shown automagically, _without_ need
>for the "extract SA1.0/A1.0 from CD" functions. (The line you
>added to GUIDE.DAT looks right to me, by the way.)

> Owen, I can think of no good reason for the Ax.0 data to
>fail to appear. You may have to zoom in a bit before it
>becomes apparent, but that's about it. (That fact has been
>known to confuse people. If you're at a limiting magnitude
>of, say, 14, it can well be that GSC is already showing
>all the stars to that limit, and all Ax.0 is doing is making
>them show up twice. The result is that you see no apparent
>difference... until you zoom in and get a limiting mag of
>16 or so.)

> Ned, about transferring your settings: probably the simplest
>thing to do is to fire up Guide 7, and select "File... Save a
>Mark". Call it "My Settings" or something like that. Guide 7
>will create a file called MY_SETTI.MAR (lopped down to
>the old 8-character limit!) in its own directory. Move that
>over to the Guide 8 directory, start up Guide 8, and click
>on "File... Load a Mark" and select your "My Settings" mark.

> Still puzzling out that NGC 2299 problem. (In Guide 7, there
>were assorted situations in which going from zoom level 5 to 6
>caused the types of objects to change. That happened because
>I rather foolishly created "high-level" DSO data from one dataset,
>and "low-level" DSO data from other datasets. In Guide 8,
>everything ought to come from common data; the only difference
>is that fainter objects are dropped out from the "higher-level"
>dataset.)
