All: In preparation for Echoes of Apollo event this spring, I'm resurrecting Nova and rotors, etc. Interesting anomaly.
Background: My desktop has Nova version 2.1v My laptop (which will be used for the event) has Nova version 2.2b
First issue is why are they different; don't remember -- though all was the same.
More important: When I launched Nova on the laptop, I had no "views" configured. Which I attributed to a new install following a new hard drive a year or so ago, but now I'm not so sure -- something may be corrupted. Copied the views file from desktop to laptop and most was well. HOWEVER, could not find moon or AO-51. Rebuild data base (IAW help file and FAQ) and found Echo (AO-51), which I can drag into my current view and track. Moon shows up on list of celestial objects, but I'm not allowed to drag it into the tracking list -- get an error message about no keplerian elements available. (Which is no surprise; I think I recall that Nova uses a different algorithm for moon and sun.)
Question: What do I have to do to be able to track the moon in Nova for Windows 2.2b?
Thanks and very 73, Jim wb4gcs@amsat.org
