Guide and NexStar/com ports etc

James Ellis Nov 8, 2000

Hi all

Just to say I had Guide and a Nexstar running at our stand at the local
astronomy night last night. It drew quite a large crowd.
I had a few problems with pointing until I remembered that I had the
location in Guide set to a different place than the Nexstar. I changed it
and there were no problems.

One guy said he enjoyed Guide a lot more than TheSky. If only now I could
get it working on the PC in the store (there is something wrong with its
com port.)
That's probably another thing to check if you are having trouble
controlling a scope, along with the cable.

I hope the weather clears up here soon. It has been raining and cloudy now
for a month. (byproducts of three cyclones, I think).

Cheers

James
