Labels on MPC observatories

Bill J Gray Jun 1, 2003

Hi Bob,

Generic advice for "how do I change labelling, or color, or
the fields of view at which a given class of object is shown":
right-click on that object, then on "Display", and you (usually)
get all the controls for that class of object.

There is one small wrinkle for MPC observatories: in eclipse
mode, the first click on the chart always gets you the eclipse
circumstances (contact times, etc.) You have to click, get that
data, then use "next" to persuade Guide to look for the "next
nearest" object: presumably, the MPC observatory. (You may
get a city instead, in which case you'll just have to keep
clicking "Next" until it gets to an MPC station.)
