I hadn't noticed any consistency in that aperture behavior yet, Bill, but I
will be on the lookout and will post any details I see here.

Thanks for the remarkable software,

Subject: [guide-user] Aperture circle trouble


Hi Larry, Anthony,

Part of what's going on here is not unexpected. After I revised
Guide to allow more than one aperture circle, I changed the button
in "Ticks, Grids, Etc." to read "Add Aperture Circle". It does just
that: it doesn't edit _existing_ aperture circles, it adds _new_ ones. The
only way to edit the existing circles (change their sizes or colors or turn
them off) is to right-click on them, then on "display".

The part that shouldn't happen is clicking on them and not getting
anything, even after using "next" to evade nearby stars. I just tried to
get that misbehavior, zooming in and out and trying various display
settings in hopes of getting the same problem. So far, I've had no luck
with this. If anyone has had trouble clicking on aperture circles and has
spotted any pattern ("it always misbehaves when I do _this_, but works just
fine when I do _that_"), I'd very much like to hear from you.

One long shot: are you clicking on the rim of the circle? (This is
what you should do. Clicking on the center of the circle won't work as
well, unless you click "next" a lot of times.)
