Hi John I fixed the Ecliptic Path and Solar Disk such that for both the northern and southern hemispheres, it is correctly aligned with the star background and properly displays the correct LHA Aries. That subtlety was pretty tricky, but here it is. When you rotate either the Star Base or the Blue Template, the displayed LHA Aries value is updated to what appears to be the correct value. The star bases are now correct for either hemisphere. I finally broke out the 2102D to see where I went wrong. I figured out how to spell that star's name! I added the 180 extension line, no arrowhead :-( The LHA Aries increases properly in each hemisphere. Some things have not made it into this version. No tick marks, thats just plain drudgery. The Red Template didn't make it in. The numerical values on the Blue Templates didn't make it in either. Anyway, its starting to leave the toy stage and become what I wanted, the next generation Star Finder, 2102-E Best Regards Brad --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
