Hi Dave,

You have done everything 'by the book', and should be seeing
Herme's easily. Just one thing though. GUIDE will not locate
the asteroid if you ask it to search for Hermes. You have to ID
it with 1937 UB. If this fails, go to display/data shown and switch
asteroids to 'on'. Hermes is currently mag 15 in Aquila. Make sure
you have the level set correctly to show magnitude 15 and below.

Doing some/all of these things should get you there.

Good luck,
Gary
