Hi Guide-Users,
have a problem with the eclipse mode of GUIDE. The
table "Asteroid occultations worldwide" shows a occultation of a star by Jupiter
at Nov. 5. 2000. After clicking on both objects
and "show eclipse", I will get "No eclipse found". The same with the occultation
by Jupiter at Feb. 6. 2000, while that of Nov. 21. works fine.
There are several occultations by Pluto at the
list, I could not display one of them. After checking them all, you can see
that every time Ceres would occult the same star the same second or just seconds
later written in the following line. I guess Pluto and Ceres got mixed up at the
list.
Some time ago I have started GUIDE and could
not believe my eyes what I was seeing: Stars with magnitudes around
-150 (!) all over the screen! Feeling like being in the center of the
galaxy. Then I recognized what had happen, the GUIDE-CD was not in the
CD-Rom drive. With earlier versions GUIDE gave a warning and could not be
started without the CD. Is this a bug of the new update? I'm running the
version of April 4.
Clear skies
