Re: Message from a Newbie

Hi Selden, thanks for the info about frame-speeds, I will see what my machine does with 12, 11 and the rest!

I went to visit Hubble (one of my favourite websites too) and orbited it, and it was wonderful, no glitches or judders. I will visit M66 again and see what I can do.

Re: Message from a Newbie

Thanks for that, Selden. I cannot tell you how nice it is to have such speedy help. I will try your suggestions, but it is years since I typed anything in French - and I use a NL keyboard where the accent grave lies above the tab button. I will see how it goes. As to upgrading... I just did, a new c...

Re: Message from a Newbie

Hi Guys, I thought I had submitted a reply to you, it seems to have gotten lost? THANKS for the ideas, I really appreciate the speed at which you guys look after a newcomer! I have edited the speed down to 10 (from 120) as Selden suggested a while ago, but having done that the movement is now rather...

Re: Message from a Newbie

Re: Message from a Newbie

Hi Derek and thankyou for your advice. I had been doing some delving and research into the things you mentioned when my computer crashed again and I decided enough was enough and took it back to the shop. A friendly computer expert dumped a quality machine in my lap and withdrew a few hundred bucks ...

Hi everybody, my name is Gemma and I live in Holland. I studied physics at uni and love all things astronomical, there are other things I love too, but they are not the subject of these forums. I downloaded Celsetia, and it is very nice - except that I cannot get a clear image: it is all disjointed ...
