Bill,

Is there anything in the plans for having an option to put Guide in
"tracking" mode for telescopes with DSC whereby it can query the DSC for
coordinates and update the screen accordingly? Not so much for my personal
observing ("slew Guide" works just fine for me) but I've found it a really
big hit at public observing parties and demos to have the laptop set up next
to the telescope showing people where the constellations are and exactly
where the telescope is pointing in the skies in real time.

Almost all the other programs which have any type of telescope interface seem
to be able to do this and currently I'm using a shareware version of one of
them for this purpose -- and feeling pretty durn guilty because its an
unregistered version. But I'm hoping not to have to spend the $$$ to
register the program when I only use it for this one small purpose (much
preferring Guide for anything else!).



Cheers,
Sandy Mc.
