guide 8 and telescope

Kevin Feb 16, 2010

I am using a celestron 102 SLT telescope, to satellite observe.

I like guide, as under the real time option found under the animation dialog, I can use the locked on to horizon option, and so the stars pass across the feild of view, as they do in my scope, when the tracking is turned off.

What I would like, is that the centre crosshair position is updated, as I move the scope, and so when I quit moving the scope, it would appear in the centre of the screen, like it currently does.

So that way when I move to a new area of sky, I can see in guide where I am pointed. After I stop, the crosshair would appear in the centre of the feild of view, and since I am using the locked on to horizon option, the star would pass across the screen.

Is there a way to do that in guide.

Thanks Bill for a great program.
