Re: [guide-user] @ucac labels

Hi Roger, Peter,
"...This is a slightly annoying feature of all updates nowadays..."
This will be corrected in the 'final' update (a five-second change
in a text editor; glad the subject came up.)
Peter, this is also a chance for me to mention a good General
Principle for Guide use: if you see something that's on the screen,
and you want to toggle labels or change its color or turn it off or
adjust its limiting magnitude or the fields of view at which it's
shown, or just want to know what the heck it is... right-click on
it, and then on Display, and you'll get full controls over its
display.
This is (in my humble opinion as the guy who added it) a really
useful capability, usually the best way to adjust what Guide is
showing you. It's not perfect in two respects. First, not everything
can be controlled in this manner (though almost everything can be).
Second, it obviously works only if the item in question is on the
screen. If it's turned off, or if there just isn't an example of
that class of object on-screen, you'll have to slog your way through
menus.
