Subject: possible bug with CdC/Sky Charts, can someone verify?
|
Hi,
I've been using CdC for a number of years, but I am running into
a wired problem and was wondering if someone could verify if this
is a problem in general, or just with my program/setup?
This seems related to the following coordinates I have entered:
44 35 57N
75 10 08W
Time = UTC + -5
v 2.76 of the program under Win 2000.
I keep getting a "Invalid floating point operation" when I hit the
"z" (for zenith) key.
What if anything am I doing wrong? Don't have this problem with other
locations, so perhaps my coordinates are wrong? (Canton, NY)
(I had decimal values which I converted to deg/min/sec)
I looked at the bug reports on the CdC site, but didn't see anything
that applies.
If someone could try plugging in my values and post back wether they
run into the same problem?
thanks,
Esmail

Pretty weird.

FWIW, I have access to a XP box too, and had this happen too. Probably
not worth reporting since v3 is in the works (though this bug could make
it to the next version too. I didn't see an easy way to report the bug,
and didn't want to sign up for a group to do so).

I just tried the same coords using CdC 3 beta and everything works
fine so It's not your numbers. Must be something to do with the 2.76
version.

thanks for trying it out .. didn't want to jump to conclusions just
based on my single experience.
I didn't know there was a version 3 in the works, that's good news,
though other than this little bug I've had great use of the current
version.
Any idea when version 3 might be coming out?

No idea when the final version is coming out but here's the CdC 3
project page:
http://www.ap-i.net/skychart/index.php
It's a bit buggy as you may expect from beta software but it does look
very nice. Can't wait for the "official" release.

Neat, thanks for the link. I see it's supposed to work with Linux too,
great!
