There should be no spaces....I am, however, curious about the parenthesis "( )" that I am seeing....

Subject: Re: [guide-user] Again ucac4-Catalog

Stupid question:

In Denis' point 2) there's space between the folder names of the path and the '/', while there's no space to be found in the path in point 8). I find spaces in the paths mentioned by Klaus as well.

However, I never trust email clients (or Yahoo) to format stuff correctly, so I wonder if these spaces are there for real, and are in fact causing the trouble?

Klaus,

the following procedure works best for me.

1. open guide.dat file
2. delete line - UCAC4_PATH = c: \ program files (x86) \ guide9 \ ucac4
3. make sure you have NO empty line(s) after deleting the above.
4. save the guide.dat file
5. run Guide
6. press keys "Alt + j" to open dialog box
7. delete all characters in the box
8. copy line - UCAC4_PATH=c:\Program Files (x86)\guide9\ucac4
9. paste line in the box and press Ok
10 zoom in to a field of 15 arcmin on M-13
11. right click on faint stars until you get a ucac4 type
12. set "auto" to "on" and display "show at" to "0" to "1.5"
13. press "Ok"

Your ucac4 stars should now display whenever your field is smaller than
1.5 degrees.

Whenever I put the above line directly in guide.dat, it did not display
the stars. Using the dialog("Alt+j") always works.

Hope it helps.

Denis
