[guide-user] Show Eclipse/Geonames/NexStar

James Ellis Mar 20, 2000

Hi All,

Show Eclipse

When I click on show eclipse, I get taken to the map showing the next
eclipse in sequence instead of the one I am looking at (ie 12/2001 instead
of 6/2001) , I have to click previous to get it. Any answers?

Ps It would be good to have a centreline and a * for point of max eclipse.

Geonames
When I download the newest guide7.zip, it overwrites egeo_err.dat. This
file kept all the Australian locations in it. I have to unzip australi.zip
in order to get them back. Can the new egeo_err replace the old (w/out oz
names) in future guide7.zips? (not urgent)

Ps Do i have to have geonames.dat in c:\guide7 or on cdrom:\ ?

NexStar
The new guide7.zip now has NexStar support, shows scopepad etc. I will be
testing this soon and will reply for all you budding nexstarers with the
news. I am hoping, Bill/Chris for a good @ although who knows what will
happen. :>)

Guiding along, singing a song.....
