Thanks. That worked great. I was simulating the configuration of the 
Jovian moons when Galileo made several observations of Jupiter in 1612 
and 1613. I found some of his notes and Guide 9.1 does a really nice job 
of displaying the positions marked by Galileo over the month long 
period. He saw Neptune also and there is a lot of controversy about some 
of his notes. Thanks for a great product.
