Re: [guide-user] Loss of Asteroid Class in Guide

Bertrand Laville Aug 31, 2007

Hi Bill and All,

When clicking on any diffuse nebula (which is not a NGC or IC one), and then on More Info, Guide displays the information of the Nebula bank, but nothing more about the data of the catalogue of the nebula, whatever it is; i.e. Sh2, LBN, vdB. And this, for as long as I remember the updates.
Is the origin of missing data same ?

Thanks

Bertrand

Hi Alan,

"...I am getting nothing after 'Albedo .089±.025'..."

That's an odd place to stop. You are missing a slew of comments from 'astorb'
_and_ all of the 'mpcorb' comments. (Both include various sorts of asteroid class
info, among other things.)

I've figured out why the 'astorb' data is missing, and this will be fixed
when I post an update. It's an install-to-hard-drive issue; if you put the
first Guide CD into the hard drive, you'll see the info without having to wait
for the update.

The bug turns out to be more significant that that, though. There have been
reports (several on this list) of trouble with use of Guide with 'mpcorb',
usually involving crashes. This bug, too, will be fixed with the update.

Still remaining, though, is the issue of why 'mpcorb' remarks are missing
from More Info. I'm afraid I'll have to get back to you on that one!

-- Bill
