[Qgis-user] Yet another projection question, I think

Hi List --

I hate to bring such basic stuff, but I can't solve this and need it for a 
business project.  I am running QGIS 1.7.2 on MEPIS 11 (based on Debian 
Stable).

I have a set of tree locations collected in the field, and they import 
correctly into Google Earth.  I set up a QGIS project, brought in orthoimages 
from NYS GIS Clearinghouse and loaded the correct ones without problem.  Their 
projection is WGS 84, when I click on the lower right corner.

Then I created a delimited layer importing the tree locations, and I can see 
all the points and the data are all correct.  That projection is also WGS 84.  
But the points do not show on the orthos (yes the layer is checked) and I do 
not know how to proceed at this point.

I need a map I can take into the field next week, so I'd appreciate any advice 
people might have.
