Proper motion, etc.

Hi Ben,
Not sure I follow you here. "Go To" a star, and Guide centers on
it with proper motion taken into account. "Slew Telescope", and Guide
points the scope to those coordinates. (All that function pays attention
to is the current screen center. It doesn't know how you got there.)
So if you set Guide's date/time to, say, 1 Jan 1000, and "went
to" a star, Guide would find where that star was a thousand years ago.
Click on "Slew Telescope", and Guide will point the telescope at
the point where that star was a thousand years ago. Is this the
problem you're seeing? If so, just set Guide's date/time to the
present before "going to" the star.
