No joy.

I'm sorry to say that the revised eclipsefinder.cpp does not solve the problem on my computer at work: the lunar eclipse finder still goes into a cpu-bound loop.

I rebuilt using all new sourcecode freshly downloaded from SourceForge, first replacing only eclipsefinder.cpp and then replacing both eclipsefinder.cpp and wineclipses.cpp

:(

Perhaps another add-on is causing trouble then? I was using the basic version of Celestia with your Hale telescope as the only add-on.

Never mind.
Mea culpa.

Apparently I didn't manage to copy the updated eclipsefinder.cpp into the correct directory. I downloaded a fresh copy from SourceForge and discovered it was identical to the one I was compiling with :(

After compiling with the correct version of the file, the loop is gone!

All is happy.

Now I'm left wondering what directory I did copy it into...

Whew! I'll check in the modified version of eclipsefinder.cpp then.

END GAME... :wink:
It??s Hale addon fault,really!
I take out the addon and the lunar eclipses were readily found.
