Help with EQTour?

[Black Knight]

Does anyone use EQTour? I'm getting this wierd problem where many of the entries in a particular tour file, e.g. Messier.lst, don't get displayed in EQTour. The entries exist in the .lst file, they just don't show on the screen.

For example, In EQTour, the Messier tour displays M1, M3, M5, M13 then up to M29[....]. The intervening Messiers numbers aren't shown, yet they exist in the Messier.lst file.

At first, I thought it may have been down to garbage characters in the file, so I carefully re-edited the entry for M2, but the problem still remains.

I'm using EQTour 1.21, but since discovering this, I've tried other versions back to 1.18 - samer problem.

Has anyone come across this before?

Just a thought, would the missing Messiers be below the horizon?

EQTOUR will filter the tour list based upon the setting of the altitude and manitude sliders.

Like if you try and send the mount to a target below the horizon it will tell you it is out of range or suchlike.

I try not to make a habit out of it. But you know, some old habits are hard to break!
