Myst: Stuck in Stoneship Age

[Neil Wood]

Spoiler Alert!!!

I'm stuck in the Stoneship age. I have figured out the
three push buttons, found the 2 rooms, 2 pages and have
gotten into the lighthouse and worked the generator.

I'm stuck with turning on the submersable lights. I figure
it has something to do with the compas-like object in the
room between the catwalks. Every time i push one of the
buttons it shuts the lights off and I get the alarm/blue
light special. :)
Could it be related to where the telescope is pointing or
something...........I've been playing for about 4 hours
straitght now and am probably missing something pretty
obvious. Any help would be apprieciated.

(I'll be subtle. Or perhaps obtuse :-). )

Light needs power. Perhaps the compasslike rascal needs to be pointed
towards something that has power and/or light. Have you measured a bearing
to any such item?

Neil...
You were soooo close.

HINT: You've pretty much already guessed it: look for the
blinking light in the telescope, after cranking your generator. Relate that
to the compass-like object and you'll have the submursible lights on.

(Major Spoiler: press the twelfth switch from the top, moving clockwise.)

I'm stuck in the Selenetic Age... Grrrrr.... :^)

Thanks! This was the one I was stuck on too.

Ooooh, I liked this one. (Well, part of it, anyway.) It was the
first Age I did. If you need any hints...

OK I'm really stuck and I'm gettin piss. I figured out the 3 buttons, I
got to the generator, I crank that thing a buch of times but when I check
the battery it doesn't look any different, shouldn't that gauge should
show something?, where is that secret button to the secret compass room?
which bedroom passage is it? the ornate one? or the one with a rib cage
for a lamp? how far up from the bed room? (ussually the 3 steps from the
bedroom are completely dark, then you see a light outline of the steps,
they seem to be made of red stones, hmm can you trun on some lights for
this area? I was told the button is toward the bottom, is it to the left
or right (from the bedroom) on the wall right? not the floor? any help
would be greatly appreciated.
also I was able to get furnance going, on max, I've heard some sound but
when I go out side nottin, something should happens to the trees? or is
there a particular tree? where is this tree? thanx
