Hi Bill,
I'm using the 3 Nov 2005 version of Guide.
When I go to the BL Lac object 3C 66A and zoom in to level 10 (mag
15) an object is shown but not labelled. I increase the mag to 16
and the object is shown and labelled. But I increase it still
further to 16.5 and it disappears again and never to re-appear no
matter how faint I go! If I zoom into level 11 it doesn't show at
all. Not at any other level/mag combination.
I've also just checked this with BL Lac itself and it behaves just
the same as 3C 66A.
Cheers,
Roger
