Re: [guide-user] star display question

Hi Bill
Every bright disappeared, when I increased the magninfication (not just
below arcseconds, but much earlier)
As I reinstalled guide everything was fine...As also the isophotes were
not working correctly I assume a corrupt
file....nothing to worry anymore
thanks and cheers
Alex
